Research direction

Start with the Windows Terminal version, Windows build, WSL2, and hashcat reproduction steps, then review the attached video showing the resize and corrupted settings. Compare running hashcat.exe inside WSL2 with the reported xterm behavior. Done means the terminal no longer resizes or corrupts its settings in the WSL2 case.
