Description
Part of https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/5184
Notice how some plots are only partially rendered as they come up. At the end you see jittering which is due to them getting plot updates.

To fix this, we should check for plot updates when waiting for user input. We currently only do it at the end of an execution request.
