The problem was that Nix's initialization script checks for an environment variable (`__ETC_PROFILE_NIX_SOURCED`) to prevent duplicate execution. When Emacs calls a shell process, this variable is inherited, causing the Nix `PATH` setup to be skipped. This commit adds a function to run call-process with empty process-environment, ensuring shell initialization scripts run completely fresh, properly including Nix paths in the returned environment variables.
