Terminal sessions use ZEDRA_SHELL when set, otherwise Zedra detects the shell that launched the host, then falls back to SHELL, then %ComSpec% (cmd.exe). Supported launch shells are cmd.exe, pwsh.exe, powershell.exe, and Git Bash/POSIX-style shells.
To build from source instead, install the MSVC Rust toolchain and Git for Windows, then run cargo build -p zedra-host.
