Subject: [PATCH] fix: launchd plist includes PATH with Homebrew + user local
 bin

launchd agents run with minimal PATH (/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin).
Homebrew binaries (tmux, ttyd) in /opt/homebrew/bin and uv tool installs
in ~/.local/bin were not found, causing _check_dependencies() to exit(1).
Plist now includes EnvironmentVariables with a PATH that covers both
Apple Silicon and Intel Homebrew locations + ~/.local/bin.
