New Configuration Key - Per-plugin result limit

Each plugin now exposes a "limit" key in Plugins.json (default 15). Raise it to see more results per plugin, lower it for a tighter list.

Custom terminal emulators — Define any terminal (WezTerm, Alacritty, Windows Terminal…) in default_shell.json under "extra_shells" and use it as your default shell or as a per-entry prefix in favorites.data.
/ keyword — Type / <command> as a shorter alternative to shell <command>.
Silent execution — Use extra_shells with cmd /c or PowerShell -WindowStyle Hidden to run commands without a visible window (see Shell docs for examples).
CWD fix — Shell commands now open in the user's home directory instead of InputBar's install folder.

App plugin — Auxiliary shortcuts (Help, Uninstall, ReadMe…) no longer appear in results. Get-StartApps, Start Menu .lnk files, and registry entries are now all filtered by name and target executable. Non-executable UWP entries (documents, text files…) registered via Get-StartApps are no longer indexed.
ListMax setting removed — superseded by MaxItemToShow in the theme. Existing Settings.json files are cleaned up automatically on first launch.
