Description
Sherlock launches successfully when launched from a regular zsh window. But when I add it to my Hyprland config it launches a process (which never closes) withouth launching the window.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install sherlock v0.1.14 through
yay -S sherlock-launcher-bin - Execute
sherlock init - Observe no errors in the output
- Change
$menu = sherlockin hyprland.conf - Execute the shortcut to launch the menu.
- Nothing happens, process is created, next launches from terminal also give an exit code

Expected Behavior
Sherlock should launch the same way like when it launches from executing sherlock in the terminal.
Environment
- Operating System: Arch (6.15.8-arch1-1)
- Window Manager: Hyprland 0.50.0
- Version: v0.1.14
