I guess that this is described in POSIX in:

"The new process (child process) shall be an exact copy of the calling
 process (parent process) except as detailed below:"

at https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

And there is nothing about working dir in the list of special cases
hence working dir is exactly the same as for parent since it has to be
exact copy of parent.
