Subject: [PATCH] Add dynamic import handling for 'zdtt' package in terminal.py

- Implemented a mechanism to ensure the 'zdtt' package is importable from both repository and installed locations.
- Added a fallback search for the package in various candidate directories if the initial import fails, enhancing compatibility and usability.
