Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the project's .vscode/settings.json with the shown terminal.integrated.profiles.linux and python.terminal.activateEnvironment settings on Ubuntu 24 with VS Code 1.97. Compare the new terminal behavior with manually sourcing /opt/pyenv/envpy3.12/bin/activate; done means the configured new terminal activates the virtual environment reliably.
