Research direction

Reproduce the issue in PSReadLine 2.2.3 using Windows Terminal with list prediction view enabled, then invoke parameter help with Alt+H. Search the repository for the list prediction view and parameter-help handling to identify the rendering entry points. Done means both views remain usable together without parameter help overwriting prediction results.
