Select Default Profile (terminal) doesn't work for projects with terminal specified #251105

Description

Type: Bug

  1. Open VScode

  2. Open Terminal
    See zsh is the default terminal
    Image

  3. Clone https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-search/

  4. Open cloned repository in vscode

  5. Open Terminal
    See bash is the default terminal
    Image

  6. Use the drop down next to the plus next to bash

  7. Select Select Default Profile
    Image

  8. Select zsh -l

  9. Close and reopen vscode

  10. Open Terminal
    See bash is still the default terminal
    Image

The problem is that the Select Default Profile setting doesn't change the project specific file and nothing else in the menu appears to let you:
https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-search/blob/main/.vscode/settings.json#L3-L4

Preferably, the UI should edit the project settings, but if it doesn't, it should warn users that the setting is useless for the project and point to the file they can hand edit.
