Description

When I run the command via `diffuse diff 0.apk 1.apk` for example I get an output that only shows [DEC Special Graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Special_Graphics) characters and that sticks on my terminal until I run reset or close and reopen terminal. I just installed diffuse moments ago and I'm running on zsh on an M1 Max Macbook. I've tried reinstalling diffuse and restarting my computer but that hasn't fixed the issue. I've also tried using bash instead of zsh and the issue still persists.

Update: `diffuse info 0.apk` works no problem though!

Research direction

Start by reproducing `diffuse diff 0.apk 1.apk` on the reported M1 Max macOS setup, comparing its terminal behavior with the working `diffuse info 0.apk` command. Trace the `diffuse diff` CLI entry point and terminal output handling; done means the diff output is readable and the terminal does not remain in DEC Special Graphics mode.
