There's a OpenConsole -Embedding and a WindowsTerminal -Embedding that are started, but the cmd that is started is not parented to those - it's sitting as a child of explorer, and it still owns the system conhost that did the handoff.

We may need to somehow reparent the cmd.exe & it's conhost to the OpenConsole, or the WindowsTerminal - at least so they show up sanely in Task Manager.
