Goose CLI: Working dir not properly set for new sessions

[sudo-tee]

Describe the bug

When running goose for the first time (new session) the working path is not set properly in the session file. Restoring the session will then echo a warning like so WARNING: The original working directory of this session was set to ...

After reviewing the session file the working_dir is set to /home/user instead of my current cwd.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any folder
2. call goose to create a new session
3. Quit goose
4. Resume the session
5. Observe the warning WARNING: The original working directory of this session was set to /home/francis. Your current directory is /home/francis/dots. Do you want to switch back to the original working directory?

Expected behavior goose should set the correct working_dir the first time

I just opened a small PR that should address this if I haven't missed something.

Im also seeing this, on both mac and linux.

It's annoying because every time I resume a session, I get prompted like below and have to be careful to select NO

◇  WARNING: The original working directory of this session was set to /Users/<me>. Your current directory is /Users/<me>/... . Do you want to switch back to the original working directory?

Even when Im always in the code dir, not home. I can confirm all the session jsonl files have the first line showing the working_dir as my home dir.

I'm having the same issue where the warning always shows when resuming a session. https://github.com/block/goose/issues/2790#issuecomment-3075104330
