PATH entries are relative to starting directory instead of home

[J-Kappes]

Describe the bug

I believe I'm using the suggested way of adding entries to my PATH as described at the bottom of env.nu but those entries are added relative to whatever directory I opened the nushell in, rather than relative to my home directory.

Nesting nushells results in appended PATH entries i.e. if your outer nushell was started in your home directory, you cd somewhere else and start another nushell, that one will have the incorrect PATH entries in addition to the correct ones from the first shell.

How to reproduce

1. Add a line like let-env PATH = ($env.PATH | split row (char esep) | prepend '.local/bin') to your env.nu

A:

2. Open a terminal with a non-nu-shell
3. cd anywhere besides ~/
4. start nushell

B:

2. run nushell in zellij
3. cd anywhere besides ~/
4. open a new pane or tab

Expected behavior

My PATH is identical to if I had started a terminal with nushell in my home directory.

I've tried to reproduce this on my mac and couldn't. However, I did find that launching nu from within nu creates duplicate entries, even though I have a line in my config.nu to remove duplicate path entries.

i could reproduce this on linux 👍
