Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the terminal settings UI and the code that launches the default system shell. Trace how shell selection is stored and passed to the terminal, including the listed zsh, Git Bash, bash, and PowerShell examples. Done means users can choose a preferred shell in terminal settings and new terminal sessions use that choice.
