i was about to suggest using winget to reinstall it but then i realized that would require a functional terminal to accomplish, something i had taken for granted

Surely the underlying cmd cli is still there even if the Terminal app wrapper is broken

It is, as is the native powershell terminal, thankfully.

I was gonna suggest "just launch cmd directly", but then remembered that this usualy just launches Terminal if it's installed.

That's when you open PowerShell ISE.

yeah, back when I was maining windows, I went through a lot of trouble to install non-store versions.

Of course, some places lock down their employees too much for them to do that

We can't even use Windows store. We have a bespoke portal that has a very small list of approved programs to install.

Yup, I know just where that happens. It's probably a joy to work in your IT. They probably have a keyboard macro for "no"
