Description
When start_directory is set on all of session, window, and pane, it doesn't work as expected.
It should concatenate directories for session + window + pane, inheriting from the parent level if nothing is specified.
So a pane that has no start_directory on window should get the directory from session + pane. And a pane that has nothing set for itself should get the directory from session + window.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python code that resolves start_directory across session, window, and pane configuration, then inspect any existing tests for inherited directory handling. The work is done when each level contributes its directory in session-to-window-to-pane order and missing values inherit from the applicable parent level.
