#9828 seems to be a duplicate of this.

I am having the same issue with my Zsh prompt after launching with the action. The problem is that the workdir ends with a slash when Ghostty is launched through the MacOS action. This can also be seen in Ghostty's title bar in the screen capture above. The prompt sequence %1~ is expanded into the final component which is an empty string.

After a cd . the workdir is normalized into the version without a trailing slash which expands the prompts as expected again (also seen in the screen capture).
