Pull request overview
Adjusts interactive shell startup to avoid bash -l clobbering image-provided PATH for Dockerfile/Docker-based apps, while keeping login-shell semantics for buildpack-based apps. It also refactors shell task metadata lookup to avoid repeated ECS DescribeTaskDefinition calls.
Changes:
- Use
bash -lonly for buildpack apps; use plainbashotherwise. - Memoize shell task definition lookup with
sync.Onceand cache task family/tags. - Split the previous combined API into
ShellTaskFamily()andIsBuildpack()accessors.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| cmd/shell.go | Chooses bash vs bash -l based on build system and uses IsBuildpack() for buildpack-specific exec wrapping. |
| app/app.go | Caches shell task definition metadata via sync.Once; adds IsBuildpack() and simplifies ShellTaskFamily() return shape. |

Docker/Dockerfile-based apps may set PATH in the image. Launching the shell with `bash -l` sources /etc/profile, which can clobber that PATH. Reserve `bash -l` for buildpack apps (where the CNB launcher wants login-shell semantics) and use plain `bash` otherwise. Refactor shell task lookup along the way: memoize the DescribeTaskDefinition call with sync.Once, and split ShellTaskFamily into focused ShellTaskFamily and IsBuildpack accessors so callers no longer discard half the return. Add table-driven tests for IsBuildpack covering the build-system tag detection and its backwards-compat defaults (missing/empty tag means buildpacks).
