Why
Terminal sessions inherit the plugin server’s environment when spawning a PTY.
In packaged or hosted environments, this
PATHmay place system or bundledexecutables before npm binaries installed by the user. Commands can therefore
resolve to an outdated or unintended CLI even when the user has installed a
newer global version.
The plugin terminal should prefer the same user-installed npm tools that would
normally be selected in the user’s local shell.
