RE: nrfutil toolchain-manager env does not set ZEPHYR_BASE

Sorry for the late reply. The source of my confusion was that I thought both the SDK and the toolchain were handled by `nrfutil toolchain-manager`, but that does not appear to be the case. I am trying to avoid hardcoding the SDK path.

However, I discovered that there is an `nrfutil sdk-manager`, which manages both the SDK and the toolchains. It does not appear to have an equivalent of `nrfutil toolchain-manager env` for the SDK, but it does at least allow you to query the SDK path, and therefore find the path to `zephyr-env.sh`. So I made the following script for setting up the NCS environment (it relies on `jq` for parsing the JSON output of `nrfutil sdk-manager list --json`):

#!/bin/sh
# Usage: source ./ncd_env.sh
# This script finds the first available nRF Connect SDK version and directory,
# sources its environment, and then sources zephyr/zephyr-env.sh in that SDK.

find_and_source_ncs_env() {
    # Get the JSON from nrfutil
    local json
    json="$(nrfutil sdk-manager list --json)"

    # Extract the first valid dir/version pair
    local result
    result=$(echo "$json" | jq -r '[.data.versions[] | {dir: (.dirNames[0] // null), version} | select(.dir != null and .version != null)][0] | @sh "version=\(.version) dir=\(.dir)"')
    eval "$result"  # sets $version and $dir

    if [ -n "$version" ] && [ -n "$dir" ]; then
        eval "$(nrfutil sdk-manager toolchain env --ncs-version "$version" --as-script sh)"
        # Source zephyr-env.sh if it exists
        if [ -f "$dir/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh" ]; then
            # shellcheck source=/dev/null
            . "$dir/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh"
            echo "Sourced env for ncs version $version"
        else
            echo "zephyr-env.sh not found at $dir/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh"
            return 2
        fi
    else
        echo "No valid version or directory found."
        return 1
    fi
}

You need to set source zephyr/zephyr-env.sh as seen here

PS: the post problem appears to be the inclusion of the string "unаme -а", or some part of it. I replace some letters with unicode look-alikes to see if I can circumvent it.
