Description
Cowsay example builds ok, but when run doesn't output anything just an empty line.
Pipx installed cowsay works as expected.
Version info:
Debian linux trixie/sid
pyapp v0.27
rustc 1.87.0 (17067e9ac 2025-05-09)
I have also tried pyapp version 0.26, 0.24 with same result.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Cowsay example with pyapp 0.27 on Debian trixie/sid, then compare its empty output with the working pipx-installed cowsay. Trace the example's runtime behavior and identify what causes the command to produce no output; done means the built Cowsay example prints its expected response.
