fish, version 3.2.1-90-ge56d8a8e5

env -i HOME=(mktemp -d) TERM=dumb ~/prefix/bin/fish

This is because __fish_print_pipestatus gets called with a number of set_color command substitutions as arguments, which are empty when TERM is "dumb".

This is a specific manifestation of #5443 - if set_color printed something sensible when run with no arguments (or TERM=dumb) this wouldn't be a problem.

I still have no idea what, tho - some no-op escape sequence would be great. The alternative is to have some way to quote a command substitution - "$(set_color)" would just expand to the same as "", an empty string.

Still worth fixing here, tho, and ideally in __fish_print_pipestatus. We might just want to use argparse and pass the colors as options, this current argument passing scheme is awkward.
