Validation Steps Performed

  1. Opened settings and replaced the $schema field with the updated schema from my fork (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iamakulov/terminal/b5d4c9337d3f323613dd5209bb68decb86cce667/doc/cascadia/profiles.schema.json).
  2. Validated that the "system" value doesn’t produce the warning anymore
  3. Validated that the value of false (i.e., a boolean – a type that’s not accepted) still produces a warning
