Great idea, this is fun :)

Set-MSTerminalProfile -Name pwsh -CommandLine "pwsh -noexit -command `$env:WT_PROFILE = 'pwsh'"

For bonus notification visibility, you could add this function and point it at an appropriate sound when you error.

Function Play-Sound{
Param(
	[Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=0)]$SoundFile
	)
    $player = New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer $SoundFile
    $player.Play();
}

You might consider adding a blowoff valve for robocopy:

The return code from Robocopy is a bitmap, defined as follows:

    Hex   Decimal  Meaning if set

    0×00   0       No errors occurred, and no copying was done.
                   The source and destination directory trees are completely synchronized. 

    0×01   1       One or more files were copied successfully (that is, new files have arrived).

    0×02   2       Some Extra files or directories were detected. No files were copied
                   Examine the output log for details. 

    0×04   4       Some Mismatched files or directories were detected.
                   Examine the output log. Housekeeping might be required.

    0×08   8       Some files or directories could not be copied
                   (copy errors occurred and the retry limit was exceeded).
                   Check these errors further.

    0×10  16       Serious error. Robocopy did not copy any files.
                   Either a usage error or an error due to insufficient access privileges
                   on the source or destination directories.
