### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install nix via the lix installer `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | NIX_INSTALLER_BINARY_ROOT="https://install.lix.systems/lix/2.92.0" sh -s -- install --no-confirm`
- Configure nix to use `25.11` instead of unstable `nix registry pin nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.11`
- Install lazygit `nix profile install nixpkgs#lazygit`
- launch lazygit in a git repo `lazygit`
### Expected behavior
Lazygit would start
### Screenshots
NA
### Version info:
```
lazygit --version
commit=, build date=, build source=nix, version=0.56.0, os=darwin, arch=arm64, git version=2.51.2
