fix: preserve existing environment variables when creating terminals

- Modified Terminal.getEnv() to spread process.env first, preserving nix-shell and other environment variables
- Updated TerminalRegistry tests to use expect.objectContaining() for environment checks
- Added comprehensive tests for environment preservation in Terminal.env-preservation.spec.ts

Fixes #7021
