Description
Description
I noticed this happens specifically for the options to a prompt. The underlying text here is "(3.13.2)", but it doesn't display well in a light-themed terminal. I know light themes are out of fashion so this issue might be shoved aside, but the 1% of us who prefer light themes would love to see this fixed. •‿•

Reproduce the issue with docker init in a light-themed terminal and inspect the CLI prompt-rendering path for the options displaying (3.13.2). Done means the prompt options remain readable in light-themed terminals without regressing their appearance in other terminal themes.
