Research direction
Reproduce `chcp.com ` in PowerShell, cmd, and WSL from old `conhost.exe` and Windows Terminal on the reported Windows build. Compare the screen behavior with the expected output and trace the console-host handling involved; done means the current code page is printed without clearing the terminal.
