Thank you for taking the time to open an issue. However, the Summary field was left as the template placeholder text ("I am experiencing a problem with X...") and contains no description of the actual problem you encountered. Without a real summary of what is failing, why, and how to reproduce it, this report cannot be acted on.

If you are genuinely experiencing a terminal connection error, please open a new issue and fill in all of the template sections — especially the Summary (what you expected vs. what happened), reproduction steps, and any relevant logs from the PowerShell Extension output channel. The troubleshooting guide may also help you capture the right details.
