Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating prompt-toolkit's existing cursor and terminal-position APIs, then determine whether the requested Windows Terminal row and column values are exposed. Done means a clearly documented way to obtain the position or a scoped feature request with suitable test coverage.
