PATH not up to date when starting VSCode

[nWestie]

If this would be better reported up to the Command Palette repo, let me know.

When PATH is updated by an app (ex: I installed node), the PATH variable used by spawned apps is not updated until Command Palette is restarted.

Chain of events:

• Install node using winget in built-in terminal in VSCode
  • node/npm cannot be run, command not found.
• Close VSCode, restart workspace from Command Palette
  • still not finding extension
• Confirm that node runs in a separate, fresh terminal
• Exit Command Palette and restart it
  • node can be called from VSCode terminal as expected

Not sure if this is something that can be fixed on the extension level, or if it's an issue with Command Palette generally. I don't remember this happening with Powertoys Run, but can't say for sure (it's not something that comes up often)

I’m not familiar with this issue, and from the description it sounds like the behavior might be unrelated to this extension.
It may be something at the Command Palette level rather than something we can address here.
