Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

This is my first time trying zed, if I'm out of place let me know :)

I checked all the open issues and couldn't find anything directly related, #5320 seems a little bit related but is about a different symptom, so I decided continue with this issue.

---

I was trying to get tmux to open as zeds integrated terminal, (similar to this article for vscode).
With this I followed the zed's docs for configuring the terminal.

Configuring tmux worked at the user config level ~/.config/zed/settings.json, but not on a project level.

But with this I discovered that Zed isn't respecting the .zed/settings.json file created by the Zed > Settings > Open Local Settings command.

I wished to be able to set this on a per project level, because I couldn't get a dynamic name for the workspace (as the article for vscode suggests), this would be nice to have on Zed too, but of course is out of scope for this issue.

~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "project_panel": {
    "dock": "right"
  },
  "theme": "Ayu Dark",
  "ui_font_size": 16,
  "buffer_font_size": 13
}

~/project_dir/.zed/settings.json:

{
  "terminal": {
    "shell": {
      "with_arguments": {
        "program": "tmux",
        "args": [
          "new",
          "-As",
          "zed"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

I've restarted the editor presuming a reload would fix, but no luck.
I've attached a recording of the process, but I reiterate that I'm newbie when it comes to zed config.

Environment

Zed: v0.121.7 (Zed)
OS: macOS 14.4.0
Memory: 16 GiB
Architecture: aarch64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

If applicable, attach your ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log file to this issue.

If you only need the most recent lines, you can run the zed: open log command palette action to see the last 1000.

Zed.log file was too big for github to accept it inline (or inside a details tag), so i created a gist for it:

Just ran into this. Some of my projects are in WSL and need a project-specific shell or else I won't be able to execute any commands on them at all, since they're on the WSL filesystem. I can manually run wsl.exe -d whatever every time I start a terminal, but it would be a lot more helpful if Zed just respected the local settings instead.
