Hi, I will look if I can improve the installation for the zsh function files not to rely on FPATH. However if the host environment is inherited within the container it implies that both environment should match to get something consistent. Especially if some module is loaded in the host prior running the container, all the environment variables set by loaded modules on host will get inherited in the container env. So FPATH is the visible part, but this issue affects every environment variable set on the host and some warning/error message could pop as soon as related software differ between host and container.
