Description
Feature summary
When I'm inside WSL session (I know it's a preview) when I open terminal I should have terminal in the same environment. Right now it opens a terminal on windows so the terminal is disconnected from the session and I can't use certain tooling as if it's from inside WSL

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the behavior from a WSL session and trace how the app opens a terminal; done means the terminal, LLM chat host, and any explicitly supported tools stay in the WSL environment, with the intended scope clarified.
