…crosoft#880) Resolves: microsoft#865 If user modifies already existing shell profile script needed for shell startup, they get stuck into not activating state because they still have auto activation guard, which blocks shell integration from core from activating. This also means because they have wrong env var in profile script, it won't activate there either. We should better track this, and properly clean up profile script when relying on shell integration for activation. /cc @karthiknadig
