Description
Using a Mac, I am unable to run non-default bash commands (e.g. node -v returns unknown command even though I have nodeJS installed) in a Terminal within the Whiteboard app.
Note that if I open the Whiteboard app through a Terminal window (without giving special permissions) __OR__ by running Applications/Whiteboard.app(show package contents)/Contents/MacOS/Whiteboard it works just fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by launching Whiteboard through the macOS App Launcher and compare it with launching the app from Terminal or Contents/MacOS/Whiteboard. Investigate how the app receives its shell environment in each launch path; done means installed commands such as node -v are available in the app's Terminal regardless of how Whiteboard starts.
