`resolveLocalWindowsTerminalRuntimeOptions` does not merely rank the project's execution runtime above a per-terminal pick -- it REWRITES the pick, in both directions, and says nothing: - a WSL project forces `wsl.exe`, discarding `--shell cmd.exe`; - a Windows-host project discards a WSL name and falls back to `COMSPEC` (`getHostShellForProjectRuntime`), so `--shell wsl.exe` spawns cmd. That is the common case, not an edge: `resolveProjectExecutionRuntime` resolves `windows-host` for every project that is not WSL, while a repo belonging to no project honours `wsl.exe` -- so the same flag behaved differently depending on whether the repo was in a project. Either rewrite returns a healthy terminal running a shell the caller did not ask for, which is the failure `--shell` exists to remove. It also split an agent launch's quoting from the shell that receives it. The previous commit made the startup-shell family follow the REQUESTED shell, so `--shell wsl.exe --command codex` on a Windows-host project typed POSIX-quoted launch args into cmd. Refusing the contradiction removes that case rather than papering over it. Refuse instead, alongside the SSH and non-Windows refusals, from the same `resolveAgentTerminalCreateOptions` seam every create lane funnels through. Also from review: - the allowlist test looped the list against itself; spell the members out. - the runtime spec case claimed to prove the pty's shell when it asserts the controller received the field; name it for what it checks. Reported by an adversarial review of the branch.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
