Description

Running BeamMP-Server inside Pterodactyl/Docker container it hangs when shutting down via exit command. The process never exits on its own and has to be force-killed. Seems like the library's input-read is stuck waiting for input that never arrives. https://github.com/lionkor/commandline/blob/55d125ad83a2db91021b13c7b7b1e6558b3110b0/src/backends/BufferedBackend.cpp#L67-L75

Research direction

Start with src/backends/BufferedBackend.cpp lines 67-75 and inspect how getline() behaves when the process runs in a Pterodactyl or Docker container. Reproduce the exit-command shutdown scenario and trace the input-read path. Done means the process exits without requiring a force-kill when no input arrives.
