Below the output. I believe this could be because of my attempt to change the default installation target via env variables and thus me making it harder than it is.

This is me being a dum dum. What I did find.

zshell does not launch on non git quickshell (initially, git version warns about using the wrong version).
zshell does not launch when not using a greeter or launching with dbus-run-session, though dbus-run-session from tty causes many other issues.
zshell works near completely with minor issues with sddm as the greeter. Many issues were actually resolved.

Realistically, the only odd thing is the install target on Artix, being /usr for some reason #42. Closing for now unless I find something actually wrong with the code.
