Zellij CLI new-tab fails to load PATH (And presumable other environment variables) when pane command runs with a blocking operation.

Currently, I run into this problem with neomutt, using this layout:

layout {
pane size=1 borderless=true {
                    plugin location="https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus/releases/latest/download/zjstatus.wasm" {
            hide_frame_for_single_pane "true"

            format_left  "{mode}#[fg=#89B4FA,bg=#181825,bold] {session}#[bg=#181825] {tabs}"
            format_right "{datetime}"
            format_space "#[bg=#181825]"

            mode_normal          "#[bg=#89B4FA] "
            mode_locked            "#[bg=#ffc387] "
            mode_default_to_mode "locked"

            tab_normal               "#[fg=#6C7086,bg=#181825] {index} {name} {fullscreen_indicator}{sync_indicator}{floating_indicator}"
            tab_active               "#[fg=#9399B2,bg=#181825,bold,italic] {index} {name} {fullscreen_indicator}{sync_indicator}{floating_indicator}"
            tab_fullscreen_indicator "□ "
            tab_sync_indicator       "  "
            tab_floating_indicator   "󰉈 "


            datetime          "#[fg=#9399B2,bg=#181825] {format} "
            datetime_format   "%H:%M"
            datetime_timezone "EST"
        }
    }

  pane command="/opt/homebrew/bin/neomutt"
}

I exported my path variables to BASH, and got nothing there either.

My (known) assumptions here are:

• This would not happen if I ran a script that called PATH execs
• Neomutt is not at fault, as it works fine when run from a standard session
• That neomutt is "freezing" the loading of these variables.
• Neomutt is run in the default shell (Fish in my case)

One concern is that my fish preexec script does not run on this.

Willing to do any extra work required here!
