Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

When using VSCode with Visual Studio Codespaces , the integrated terminal is "connected" to the codespace and all commands execute in the Codespace environment.

I would like a profile in Terminal that connects to a Codespace. I would expect it to function similar to the Azure Cloud Shell profile.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how the Azure Cloud Shell profile is implemented in the Terminal codebase, then create a similar profile for Visual Studio Codespaces by implementing the necessary connection logic.
