Subject: [PATCH] fix: persist PATH in .spawnrc so agent binaries work on SSH
 reconnect (#2355)

Previously .spawnrc only exported env vars (API keys). The PATH entries
for agent binaries (~/.npm-global/bin, ~/.bun/bin, etc.) were only set
in per-agent launch commands, so reconnecting via SSH left users with
"command not found" errors.
