Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang with Git for Windows 2.41.0, juliaup, Julia 1.9.1, and Git Bash using the listed steps. Trace how juliaup launches Julia from that shell and compare its terminal input handling with a working console. Done means the Julia REPL accepts input when launched from Git Bash.
