chore(zellij): pin new tabs/panes to home directory - #54
Merged
Conversation
New tabs inherited the focused pane's cwd, so opening a tab while sitting in dotfiles or a repo worktree started the new shell (and any agent session in it) there too — how files meant for another project ended up written into dotfiles. default_cwd pins new tabs/panes to $HOME so every new tab starts neutral.
