Description

### Description

In `CurrentUser.getCurrentUser()`, an `UnsafeMutablePointer` is allocated but never explicitly freed. When I added a `deallocate()` call in a defer block, the process crashed saying the pointer was freed but never allocated. I am uncertain if there is a memory leak here.

### To Reproduce

1. Open a workspace, thus creating a terminal, which calls `CurrentUser.getCurrentUser()`.

### Expected Behavior

No memory leak, but, again, I am uncertain if there is actually a leak here.

### Version Information

CodeEdit: 0.3.6-dev (37)
macOS: 15.6.1
Xcode: 26.0
