Research direction
Reproduce the scrollback failure with CLI version 0.55.1 on Linux, including the reported ^S/^Q possibility, then trace the terminal input and scrollback entry points. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means the terminal can reliably scroll back to earlier CLI output without disrupting input.
