Research direction

Start by reproducing the empty-screen, erratic backspace, and text-selection problems in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.78-0. Inspect the terminal rendering and input-handling entry points after establishing reliable reproduction steps; done means these behaviors no longer occur and the regression is covered by verification.
