Problem when used with AppImage

[vinismarques]

Describe the bug
I am using Cursor.AI (VSCode-based) to develop and mise does not work when my shell is Zsh.

To Reproduce

1. Add eval "$(mise activate zsh)" on the zshrc file
2. Set Cursor to use Zsh as default shell
3. Open a project that uses node and try using the integrated terminal. It will open two new unsaved tabs/files in the current window called "activate", and "zsh".

Expected behavior
Shell should be set to the correct node version.

Additional context
I posted about it in #921, but since that was closed before I commented, I figured I should open a new one.

Things I tried (Zsh):

1. Using eval "$(mise activate zsh)" on the zshrc file: when starting a new integrated terminal on Cursor, it opens two new unsaved tabs/files in the current window called "activate", and "zsh".
2. Using eval "$(mise activate --shims)": when starting a new integrated terminal on Cursor, it opens one new unsaved tab/file called "activate" in the current window and prints "Warning: 'shims' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium." to the terminal.
3. Using export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH": does not open any weird tabs when starting a new integrated terminal, nor outputs any error/warning message to the terminal, but when I try something like node -v it opens a new Cursor window, instead of printing the version.
4. Running mise doctor on the integrated terminal: opens unsaved file called "doctor".
5. Running mise one two three on the integrated terminal: will open unsaved files called "one", "two", and "three" in the current window.
6. Running just mise on the integrated terminal: opens a new IDE window.

On Bash, it seems to work fine with all methods... eval "$(mise activate bash)", eval "$(mise activate --shims)" and export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH". It prints the node version as expected when using node -v and does not open any weird tab or window.

I also have VSCode (non-AppImage), which Cursor is based on and it works with Zsh, so it seems something weird is going on only when using Zsh+AppImage.

I have the same problem, can't activate mise in integrated terminal of Cursor editor (AppImage) and ZSH.

mise ERROR cursor-0.42.5x86_64_3aad2fcb25d24d988a41f8c6ac0bc2f1.AppImage is not a valid shim
mise ERROR Run with --verbose or MISE_VERBOSE=1 for more information

It is working for bash only though.

I ended up extracting the Cursor AppImage and run Cursor from there. No more error when using mise, just like in the vscode.
