Descrizione
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
macOS 26.5.0 (25F71)
### Expected behaviour
Opening a new panel in Terminal.app, ~ character must be written correctly with the option "Use Option as Meta key" enabled
### Actual behaviour
Since migrating from v2.x to v3.x (2.10.0), Alt+5 no longer produces ~ on Italian keyboard layout in Terminal.app.
The stdin buffer in tui.js converts single bytes >127 to ESC+char sequences, which conflicts with "Use Option as Meta key" enabled. This worked correctly in v2.x. Affects all Alt-composed characters on non-US layouts.
### Steps to reproduce
Activate "Use Option as Meta key" option in the Terminal app, and try to type the ~ character with Alt+5 (external keyboard) or Option+5.
The terminal will refuse the digit.

Inizia in tui.js, nella gestione del buffer stdin descritta nel report, e confronta il suo comportamento con v2.x. Riproduci il problema in Terminal.app con un layout di tastiera italiano e l’opzione “Use Option as Meta key” abilitata; il lavoro è completato quando Alt+5 produce ~ e gli altri caratteri composti con Alt funzionano correttamente.
