Description
I am building a quarto markdown using a virtual environment(venv). When I run quarto preview using the preview button, it opens up a new terminal(which does not have the virtual environment activated) and fails to render. It does work if I directly use the quarto preview command in the venv activated terminal. My assumption is that the preview button should also honor the virtual environment.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by opening a Quarto Markdown document in VSCode, using the preview button, and comparing it with quarto preview from an activated venv terminal. Trace the preview-button entry point and its new terminal environment; done means preview inherits the virtual environment and renders successfully.
