feat(FN-3026): use Nerd Font terminal stack with font fallback migration

Adds Nerd Font as the terminal font stack default with a migration to update existing user settings, updates the terminal and settings modals to reflect the new font choice, and includes corresponding tests plus a patch changeset for `@runfusion/fusion`.

 - **Bidirectional Communication**: WebSocket connection for instant input/output
 - **xterm.js Integration**: Full terminal emulation with proper ANSI support, colors, and cursor handling
+- **Nerd Font-preferred rendering**: The terminal prefers a Nerd Font-capable monospace stack (`MesloLGS NF`, `JetBrainsMono Nerd Font`, `FiraCode Nerd Font`, etc.) with standard monospace fallbacks so powerline/private-use prompt glyphs render correctly when patched fonts are installed
 - **Auto-resizing**: Terminal automatically fits to container size
