Description
Environment
- OS: macOS Tahoe 26.6

Describe the bug
After a failed run_in_terminal tool call with error Invalid terinal ID placeholder, the next run_in_terminal tool call would get stuck running forever, until I manually switch to the terminal and pressed enter.
Expected behavior
The run_in_terminal tool call should return normally

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failed run_in_terminal call followed by a second call in the Eclipse plugin on macOS, checking the terminal interaction described in the issue. Trace the run_in_terminal entry point and its handling of the invalid terminal ID; done means the subsequent call returns normally without requiring the user to press Enter.
