Fish is the default Hypercube shell and sets up the user PATH
(~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/go/bin, ~/.npm-packages/bin) in
/etc/fish/config.fish. Bash and other POSIX shells never read that
config, so anything launched from them inherited a stripped-down PATH.

This broke the ai-dev 'claude'/'agy' wrapper scripts in ~/.local/bin:
they exec 'podman', which was not resolvable on the bash PATH.

Add /etc/profile.d/hypercube-path.sh, which mirrors the fish PATH
additions (and sources ~/.cargo/env when present) for sh/bash login and
interactive shells. Also assert the file's presence in the build tests.

interactive shells. Also assert the file's presence in the build tests.
The real gap was the standard system directories (/usr/bin, /bin,
/usr/sbin, etc.), not the per-user dirs. podman lives at /usr/bin/podman,
so when a bash shell came up without /usr/bin on PATH the ai-dev
'claude'/'agy' wrappers could not exec it.

Ensure the default system directories are always present (appended if an
inherited PATH lacks them, sane even from an empty PATH), while still
mirroring the fish per-user PATH additions.
