feat: improve error handling in terminal settings retrieval and enhance path normalization

- Wrapped the terminal settings retrieval in a try-catch block to handle potential errors and respond with a 500 status and error details.
- Updated path normalization logic to skip resolution for WSL UNC paths, preventing potential issues with path handling in Windows Subsystem for Linux.
- Enhanced unit tests for session termination to include timer-based assertions for graceful session killing.
