Description
### Describe the bug
### Summary
With WezTerm, Paste-into-prompt does not work while the agent is displaying an interactive question (the elicitation/ask_user form). Pasting works normally outside of these prompts.
### Repro
1. Using wezterm, start an interactive session with `copilot`.
2. Ask the agent something that causes it to invoke the elicitation/ask_user tool (i.e. it presents a form-style question with one or more fields).
3. Try to paste text into one of the form fields.
### Expected
Standard terminal paste should populate the field with clipboard contents.
### Actual
Paste keystroke is dropped or otherwise has no effect on the form field. Direction affected: **paste-in only** (copy-out from these prompts was not specifically tested).
### Environment
- Copilot CLI version: `1.0.49-1` (`GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.49-1`)
- OS: Windows 10.0.26200 (Windows 11)
- Shell: PowerShell 7.5.5
- Terminal: **wezterm**
### Notes
- Reproducible across multiple prompts; happens specifically and only during the ask_user / elicitation form rendering, not during normal output or normal user-input lines.
- Workaround: cancel the form, paste the value into the next free-form prompt, and re-trigger the question. Not a fix.
### Impact
Mild but recurring friction — every time the agent asks a structured question that needs pasted content (IDs, URLs, long titles, etc.), the user has to type or work around the form.
