What issue are you seeing?

If I select WSL as environment

<img width="738" height="146" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bcaa7ba2-00c9-4ead-8f12-f6eff1cacaf3" />

When opening the terminal toggle, I see my default WSL distro, which does not contain my project.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Set "WSL" as the terminal shell
  2. Open terminal

What is the expected behavior?

Since there is no option to select the correct distribution, who knows what to expect, but it seems it uses the "default" distribution, which is not the one I want to use.

Additional information

You need to provide a distribution selection.
