Description

CLI::UI.ask used to take multi line input:

> User ids:
1
2
3

Since some upgrades ( we've upgraded to Ruby 3.3, maybe some change in our CLI leading to the console ) the input is now splitting from multi-line input to multi-prompt input.

> User ids:
1
> Order id
2
> Blah blah
3

Anyone has the same issue, is there a way to indicate the ask is expecting a multiline input? (nothing here https://github.com/Shopify/cli-ui/blob/main/lib/cli/ui/prompt.rb#L128 )

Thank you for any help provided

Research direction

Start at lib/cli/ui/prompt.rb around line 128 and inspect how CLI::UI.ask reads input. Reproduce the reported difference between multiline input and repeated prompts, considering the Ruby 3.3 or console-related upgrade context. Done means multiline input is handled as intended, with coverage for the reported interaction.
