Description

# micro --version
Version: 2.0.14
Commit hash: 04c57704
Compiled on August 28, 2024

It takes around 20 seconds to micro to bring up the TUI and when it does it looks godawful.

Research direction

Reproduce the difference between TERM=foot micro and TERM=foot-direct micro using micro 2.0.14, including the startup delay and malformed TUI shown in the report. Start by tracing terminal initialization and capability handling, then verify that both TERM values launch promptly with a correctly rendered interface.
