Description
When node prints a message, the output gets broken. For instance, when pnpm runs child processes, sometimes Node prints:
```
(node:21820) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 SIGINT listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
```
This message breaks the output written by ansi-diff. ansi-diff should either skip lines printed by other tools or rewrite them.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the pnpm child-process warning described in the issue, then inspect ansi-diff's input and output handling to find where the extra Node message disrupts the diff. Done means output from other tools no longer breaks ansi-diff, with the handling behavior clarified between skipping or rewriting those lines.
