KernelSU Issues with Termux, MiXplorer, and Other Apps on BlissOS

This report details issues encountered with KernelSU 1.0.1 on BlissOS, affecting popular apps like Termux, MiXplorer, and TermOnePlus.

**Issues Observed:**

* **Termux:**
While providing root access via `/system/bin/su`, Termux fails to set the $PATH environment variable, limiting its functionality.
* **MiXplorer:**
MiXplorer cannot utilize the `Allow Root` functionality, even when using the `rootexplorer.root` or `system` template. While Amaze File Manager can show the `/data` directory, accessing `/data/app` remains problematic.
* **TermOnePlus:**
TermOnePlus encounters issues regardless of using `su` or `/system/bin/su` for root access.

**Testing and Reproducibility:**

These issues have been observed across various BlissOS builds with KernelSU 1.0.1 and kernel versions 6.1, 6.6, 6.9, and 6.11. While older KernelSU versions (0.9.2) function partially on kernels 6.1 and 6.6, porting them to newer kernels replicates the same issues.

**Expected Behavior:**

Apps should grant root access and function correctly, with environmental variables like $PATH properly configured for terminal emulators like Termux.

**Additional Context:**

The issues described specifically affect root access and environment variable configuration, hindering the functionality of certain apps on BlissOS when using KernelSU.
