An integrated terminal is a command-line interface inside a code editor. In VS Code, it lets you write code and run commands in one window, without switching applications. section 5.5 section 5.1
The terminal panel uses the same macOS Zsh shell as the standalone terminal. From it, you can run commands such as `ollama run`, `python3`, and file-management commands. section 5.5.1 section 5.5
