Description
Like this (I pressed `Enter` three times). Using `^J` instead of `^M` (Enter) complete the prompt.
I'm not sure but should we just quit when we see `^M` (CR) or `^J` (LF) like what I've wrote on https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/pull/3777 ?
I have reported this as an issue because the current implementation seems to have been implemented that way on purpose.

Research direction
Start with runtime/js/41_prompt.js at lines 61-70, then compare the reported macOS behavior with the deno_std pull request linked in the issue. Reproduce the prompt interaction using Enter and ^J, and confirm that the prompt completes correctly for both line-ending inputs.
