// Tab doesn't exist, create it.
// As of zellij 0.44, `new-tab --cwd` is only honored when an INITIAL_COMMAND is
// supplied — without one the default shell starts in $HOME. Pass $SHELL
// explicitly so --cwd takes effect, and --close-on-exit so the pane behaves
// like a normal shell tab (closes on exit instead of respawning).
