Research direction
Start with conhost.exe and the attached conhost_halfblock_artifact_report.txt, then trace the partial WriteConsoleOutputW path described in the reproduction. Confirm the half-block overwrite case and identify why residual pixels remain. Done means the reported artifact no longer appears when half-block characters are overwritten.
