Context

This PR adds documentation for configuring Cygwin as a terminal in VS Code for Windows users in the shell integration guide.

Implementation

The implementation adds a new section under 'Additional Troubleshooting for Windows Users' that includes:

  • Installation steps for Cygwin
  • VS Code settings.json configuration with explanation of parameters
  • Instructions for setting Cygwin as the default terminal
  • Guidance on opening Cygwin terminals
  • Note about shell integration compatibility

This helps Windows users who prefer Cygwin's Unix-like environment to properly configure it with shell integration support.

How to Test

  1. Review the added documentation in docs/shell-integration.md
  2. Verify the instructions are clear and accurate
  3. If possible, test the configuration on a Windows system with Cygwin installed

Someone is attempting to deploy a commit to the Roo Code Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.
