### 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
```

### Terminal info:

Terminal.app with fish shell

### Additional context

(I'm opening the issue because terminal output asked me to)

> [!NOTE]
> Please try updating to the latest version or [manually building](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/#manual) the latest `master` to see if the issue still occurs.
