### Describe the bug
Copilot CLI enables xterm focus reporting (DECSET `?1004`) and does not disable it when the process exits abnormally (crash, or abort during an operation). The terminal keeps emitting focus events after Copilot is gone, and with nothing left to consume them they land in the parent shell as literal input.
On Windows Terminal with PowerShell the effect is immediately disruptive. Every focus change injects `[I` (focus gained, `CSI I`) or `[O` (focus lost, `CSI O`) at the prompt, and PowerShell parses `[I` as the opening of a type literal, so the shell errors:
```
D:\Git> [I[O[I
ParserError:
Line |
1 | [I[O[I
| ~
| Missing ] at end of attribute or type literal.
```
One `[I`/`[O` pair arrives per alt-tab or window click, so the prompt stays unusable until the mode is reset by hand.
The confirming symptom is a Copilot TUI still painted on screen with **no `copilot` or `node` process running** — the terminal has been left in TUI-oriented input mode by a process that has already exited.
### Affected version
```
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.78
```
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Start `copilot` in Windows Terminal with PowerShell as the shell.
2. Cause the process to terminate abnormally. In my case the session died on its own (see Additional context); `taskkill /f /im copilot.exe` produces the same terminal state.
3. At the recovered PowerShell prompt, click to another window and back.
4. `[I` / `[O` appear at the prompt. Pressing Enter produces the `ParserError` above.
Manual recovery, for anyone who finds this issue while stuck:
```powershell
[Console]::Write("`e[?1004l")
```
### Expected behavior
Copilot restores the terminal modes it enabled — at minimum focus reporting (`?1004`) and mouse tracking (`?1000`/`?1002`/`?1003`/`?1006`) — on **every** exit path including abnormal ones, leaving the parent shell as it was found.
Two changes would each help, independently:
1. **Move the mode-restore into a handler that also runs on abnormal termination** (panic/abort/signal), not only on clean shutdown.
2. **Add a setting to opt out of focus reporting**, in the same spirit as the existing `terminalProgress`, whose own documentation says *"Set to `false` to suppress these escape sequences on terminals that render them as visible artifacts."* `mouse` is a second precedent. There is currently no equivalent for `?1004`, so a user hitting this has no supported way to avoid it.
The second is valuable even if the first lands, since it also helps terminals and multiplexers that mishandle focus events while Copilot is running normally.
### Additional context
Related issues:
- **#2332** — same failure class: terminal left in a bad mode after exiting a Copilot session (mouse selection rather than focus reporting).
- **#459** — the feature request that introduced focus reporting.
- This is a known cross-tool TUI hazard rather than something specific to Copilot. Claude Code has the consuming-side equivalent (anthropics/claude-code#11391 and #18363, closed as duplicates of #18208), and vim removed mode 1004 from its XM termcap over the same class of problem.
**What terminated the session** — possibly a separate issue, happy to split it out. The session log ends with repeated bridge-ack timeouts, one in the same second as a subagent launch:
```
12:49:14.535Z [WARNING] [rust:copilot_runtime::interop::bridge_backed_seam] timed out waiting for bridge event ack {"event_kind":"event","timeout_ms":30000}
12:51:54.590Z [INFO] Completing 1 orphaned tool calls.
12:53:59.317Z [WARNING] [rust:copilot_runtime::interop::bridge_backed_seam] timed out waiting for bridge event ack {"event_kind":"event","timeout_ms":30000}
12:53:59.553Z [INFO] SessionAgentExecutor.execute() called for "rubber-duck" (toolCallId=…)
12:54:03.747Z [INFO] --- End of group ---
```
Fourteen such bridge-ack timeouts occurred in that one session over a day. This may relate to #4026 and #2543. The terminal-mode leak is independent of the cause of death, though — any abnormal exit produces it.
Environment:
- **OS**: Windows 11 Enterprise, build 10.0.26200
- **CPU architecture**: x86_64 (AMD64)
- **Terminal emulator**: Windows Terminal
- **Shell**: PowerShell 7.6.4 (`pwsh`)
- **Node**: v24.18.1
- **Relevant settings**: `mouse: false`, `autoUpdate: false`
Happy to provide fuller logs via `--log-level debug --log-file` if useful.
Hướng dẫn đóng góp
Hướng nghiên cứu
Bắt đầu từ các đường dẫn thiết lập và tắt của terminal-mode trong Copilot CLI, tập trung vào việc xử lý thoát bất thường được mô tả ở đây và các cài đặt terminalProgress cùng mouse hiện có. Tái hiện bằng Windows Terminal và PowerShell, sau đó xác minh rằng focus và các chế độ mouse được khôi phục sau khi kết thúc bất thường, đồng thời shell cha không còn nhận các sự kiện [I]/[O].
