Research direction

Reproduce fortune | cowsay | lolcat in the daedalOS terminal and compare its output with fortune | cowsay. Trace the pipeline and newline handling around the lolcat command; done means the piped output has no undesired leading newline while the existing cowsay output remains unchanged.
