fix(shell): prevent infinite loop when redirect variable expands to empty

When a redirect variable like `$EMPTY` expands to an empty string,
the expansion state machine would loop forever because it used
`path_list.items.len > 0` to detect if expansion had already occurred.
With an empty expansion, items.len stays 0, causing infinite re-expansion.

This fix adds an `expansion_started` flag to track whether expansion
has been attempted, regardless of whether it produced any output.
