+- **Your normal remote shell is preserved**: Persisterm uses the remote
+  account's `$SHELL` (falling back to its passwd login shell) instead of
+  hardcoding Bash. Bash login profiles, Zsh's `.zshenv`/`.zprofile`/`.zshrc`/
+  `.zlogin`, and Fish's login configuration run in their normal order, while a
+  prompt hook refreshes VS Code integration variables. If a Bash profile sets
+  `PROMPT_COMMAND`, it should append to (rather than replace) the inherited
+  value. Existing panes keep the shell they were created with; open a new
+  terminal after changing `$SHELL` or upgrading from an older version.

 - **Multiple workspaces on one host**: set a unique `persisterm.sessionPrefix`
   per workspace (e.g. `proj-a`, `proj-b`) to avoid cross-talk.
