Description
Currently, it's possible to instantiate an IDE with some commands (upto 3) opened via startScript. In a specific usecase I'm working on, an action needs to be performed later by a user, and not on instantiation.
(the use-case is "Run tests" .. where a specific command is run only after some changes are made by the user).
I could not find a function on vm to allow this to be done. Would request such an option so that an external user action (pressing a menu button or such), allows a terminal to be run.
If you can suggest other alternatives towards this, pls do so.
Regards

Research direction
Start by reading the VM API and the existing startScript entry point, since the issue names no files or tests. Determine the public shape for invoking a terminal after instantiation, then verify that an external action can trigger the script without rerunning IDE setup.
