Description

- I just installed a new WSL distro (for example, name it Arch`)
- Close WindTerm and then open it
- Press the `+` button, but did not see `Arch` in the dropdown list

- In `Session Settings` > `Shell` dropdown, I can see `Arch - WSL` as an option.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by adding a WSL distribution, restarting WindTerm, and comparing the + button's dropdown with Session Settings > Shell, where the new distro appears. Trace how each list is populated and consider the issue done when both views show the same newly installed WSL distribution.
