Summary of the Changes
This PR addresses an accessibility issue regarding low contrast text in terminal profiles (specifically noted in Git Bash issue #19684).

By setting "adjustIndistinguishableColors": "always" in the profile settings, Windows Terminal will automatically ensure that text contrast meets WCAG 4.5:1 luminosity requirements. This resolves the issue where text like MINGW64 was unreadable on certain backgrounds without forcing a specific color scheme on the user.
