Fix redirect stdin command for fish shell (#39963)

This fixes an issue introduced via
[v0.208.0-pre](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases/tag/v0.208.0-pre)
and reported via
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/34530#issuecomment-3386042577
where, when using fish shell as the default shell and using a Claude
Code thread in Zed, all command were failing because `(command)` in fish
is for command substitution. Using it creates this type of error:

```
fish: command substitutions not allowed in command position. Try var=(your-cmd) $var ...
(npm ci) </dev/null
^~~~~~~~~~~~^
```

or in the editor itself:

/>


Using the appropriate syntax to redirect to stdin for fish fixes the
issue.

Release Notes:

- Fixed redirect stdin command for fish shell
