Project runtime requires repair before terminal spawn: wsl-unavailable

Thanks for reporting this. This message means Orca currently has the project configured to use WSL, but WSL was not detected as available.

If you want the project to run directly on Windows:

1. Open Settings → General and set Default project runtime to Windows.
2. If only this repository is affected, open its repository settings and set Project runtime to Windows.
3. Close the failed terminal and create a new terminal.

If you want to keep using WSL:

1. Run wsl --status and wsl --list --quiet in PowerShell.
2. Confirm that WSL is working and that the distro selected in Orca appears in the list.
3. Fully quit and reopen Orca after WSL is working, then create a new terminal.

If the error remains, please reply with your Orca version and the output of those two commands so we can identify whether WSL is unavailable or Orca detected it incorrectly.

This is a project runtime configuration situation rather than a bug: the project is set to use WSL but WSL wasn't detected as available. @AmethystLiang's comment above has the fix — either switch the project runtime to Windows (Settings → General, or the repo's settings) and open a fresh terminal, or get WSL working and fully restart Orca. Closing as answered; feel free to reply with your Orca version and the wsl --status / wsl --list --quiet output if the error persists and we'll reopen.
