Thanks working on this! I recently ran into the situation resulting in exec failed: No such file or directory, because mako has been spawned by systemd --user which doesn't have the proper sh on PATH, but mako expects this being POSIX compliant. I changed to starting mako with sway and this works fine, but I think a dedicated user service is the right choice to provide all flexibility needed.

By the way, this popped up with a very simple example of using actions in mako:

on-button-right=exec ${pkgs.wl-screenshot}/bin/wl-screenshot upload

Closed because it seems we don't need a systemd service for mako, and she sh thing seems solved in nixpkgs https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/3893#issuecomment-1969618171 now.
