Change the Terminal Shell

Help query: "How do I change the terminal shell?" / "How do I use pwsh in Volt terminal?"

Prefer YAML so the change applies at runtime.

Edit user/config/ui.yaml:

terminal:
  program: pwsh
  args: ["-NoLogo"]

Save the file. The next terminal buffer opened through user/terminal.rs picks up the new shell via crate::config::load().

If program is empty, Volt falls back to the platform default compiled into the user library.
