Description
In buildstream 2.5.0 and before, `bst shell ` will start the shell in `/buildstream-build`, e.g.
```
src # bst --version
2.5.0
src # bst shell utils/generate-cve-report.bst

In buildstream 2.6.0, the work directory is instead `/`

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the regression by running the shown `bst shell utils/generate-cve-report.bst` commands with BuildStream 2.5.0 and 2.6.0, then test the `bst shell` path with `--mount cve /buildstream-build`. Trace the shell entry point and verify that the mounted files remain accessible at the expected working directory without breaking the 2.6.0 behavior.
