CLI not able to run any commands

[javiercn]

Describe the bug

This is on windows. Whenever I try to make it do anything, it fails to run any command (powershell or CMD)

Below is just an extract of me asking it to describe the project structure for a folder it has access to.

● I'll help you explore the directory structure of the current working directory.

✗ List directory .
   Unhandled error: Error: Command timed out
●

   Let me try using PowerShell to list the directory structure:

✓ List all directories recursively up to 2 levels deep
   $ Get-ChildItem -Path . -Directory -Recurse -Depth 2 | Select-Object FullName
   ↪ 1 line...
✗ read_powershell
   Invalid session ID: main. Please supply a valid session ID to read output from.
●

   Let me try a simpler approach:

✓ List directories in current folder
   $ Get-ChildItem -Directory | Select-Object Name
   ↪ 1 line...
✓ stop_powershell
   ↪ 1 line...
●

   Let me try with a fresh session and simpler command:

✓ List directories
   $ ls -Directory
   ↪ 1 line...
✓ stop_powershell
   ↪ 1 line...
●

   Let me try with tree command:

✗ Show directory tree structure
   $ tree /F /A
   Permission denied and could not request permission from user
●

   Let me try using Get-ChildItem with limited output:

✗ List items in current directory
   $ Get-ChildItem | Format-Table Name, Mode -AutoSize
   Permission denied and could not request permission from user

@javiercn confirmed that his PowerShell profile emits a lot of extra info by default on startup. I suspect this is confusing the output parser. So I expect we can fix this by passing -NoProfile to pwsh.exe when running shell commands (which is something we should be doing anyway to avoid any other interference).

We've fixed this in 0.0.335!
