## Summary Closes #15355 This PR adds a fallback mechanism to `Shell::from_env()` that inspects the parent process when shell environment variables are not available on Unix-like systems. Currently, `uv tool update-shell` fails with "the current shell could not be determined" when environment variables like `ZSH_VERSION`, `BASH_VERSION`, or `SHELL` are not exported. This commonly occurs in automated environments such as GitHub Actions runners. The fallback approach: 1. Uses `nix::unistd::getppid()` to get the parent process ID 2. Reads `/proc/<ppid>/exe` to determine the parent executable path 3. Falls back to `/proc/<ppid>/comm` if the exe symlink fails 4. Uses existing `parse_shell_from_path()` to identify the shell type This maintains full backward compatibility - the fallback only activates when environment variables are unavailable and an error would otherwise occur. ## Test Plan Tested locally with: ```bash env -u ZSH_VERSION -u SHELL PATH="/usr/bin:/bin" $(which cargo) run -- tool update-shell --verbose ``` ```text Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.30s Running `target/debug/uv tool update-shell --verbose` DEBUG uv 0.8.11 DEBUG Ensuring that the executable directory is in PATH: /home/user/.local/bin DEBUG Detected parent process ID: 4147396 DEBUG Parent process executable: /usr/bin/zsh Updated configuration file: /home/user/.zshenv Restart your shell to apply changes ```
