Test User 63816043cf feat: enhance shell detection logic and improve cross-platform support
- Updated the TerminalService to utilize getShellPaths() for better shell detection across platforms.
- Improved logic for detecting user-configured shells in WSL and added fallbacks for various platforms.
- Enhanced unit tests to mock shell paths for comprehensive cross-platform testing, ensuring accurate shell detection behavior.

These changes aim to streamline shell detection and improve the user experience across different operating systems.
