Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Far Manager using the documented URL, mouse hover, and Esc transition, then inspect the Windows Terminal URL highlighting and fade behavior. Compare the video and actual behavior while switching from the editor to the panel; done means the URL transition no longer produces a flickering or otherwise strange visual effect.
