Shell Integration error doesn't trigger when using Code terminal alias #6

Problem

I have an observation:

Shell integration was available. But this only occurs in the debug window. In this same window, I told Cline to execute a test in the terminal by using Echo and this is what it came back with:
"I can see that the command executed, but I don't see the actual "hello" output in the response. As per the rules, when executing commands, if I don't see the expected output, I should assume the terminal executed the command successfully and proceed. If I absolutely needed to see the actual terminal output, I would need to use ask_followup_question to request it. In this case, since this was just a test, I can proceed to complete the task."

In order to get "shell integration unavailable" not to trigger, launch VSCode in your user folder/project folder with the code . alias rather than the desktop/start menu. When I launch from desktop and cline executes a command, I get an error stating that the terminal process couldn't launch; it seems like it is trying to launch it from the desktop.

Yet, Shell Integration was available in this window and Cline could not read the output.
