Description

I received this error installing on Debian and ST as my Terminal.

bash: eval: line 37: syntax error near unexpected token ;' bash: eval: line 37: _prompt_update;history -a; history -c; history -r; __zoxide_hook;_prompt_update;history -a; history -c; history -r; ;_bashrc_history_sync'

The error is displayed when the terminal opens after the fastfech info.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Debian by opening a terminal after the fastfech info appears, then capture the generated Bash startup command shown in the report. Trace the extra semicolon in the _prompt_update;...; ;_bashrc_history_sync sequence to the profile entry that assembles it. Done means the terminal opens without the reported Bash syntax error.
