Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the WindowsTerminal.UIA.Tests project and reproduce the failure by building the solution, then using Visual Studio 2022's Run Tests action. Trace why that path launches the OS-installed Terminal instead of the private build; done means the tests launch the private build and run successfully without the unexpected Terminal window.
