Max Malkin d76258da9a terminal_view: Fix terminal opening in / when no project is open (#46582)
Closes #46574

The `default_working_directory()` function in
`crates/terminal_view/src/terminal_view.rs:1585` returned `None` when no
project directory was available. The code comment (now removed)
incorrectly claimed "None implies `~` on whichever machine we end up
on". However, when `None` is passed to `alacritty_terminal`, it uses the
process CWD, not the home directory. On macOS when Zed is launched from
a .`app` bundle, the CWD is `/`.
    
Added a fallback at the end of` default_working_directory()` that
explicitly returns the home directory when no project directory is
found: `directory.or_else(dirs::home_dir)`

  This ensures:
  1. `CurrentProjectDirectory` with no project open → home directory
  2. `FirstProjectDirectory `with no project open → home directory
3. `AlwaysHome `→ home directory (explicitly, not relying on shell
behavior)
  4. Always `{ directory }` with invalid directory → home directory



Release Notes:
- Fixed terminal opening in `/` instead of home directory when no
project is open.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
