Description
I need to temporarily use color codes like "\033[0m". But prompt() doesn't seem to allow it.
I've tried using print() to achieve this, followed by prompt(), but as soon as I hit enter after the input, the prompt disappears. Any way around this?
This is the code snippet I'm currently using.
print(f"\033[32mprompt> \033[0m", end='')
content = session.prompt(multiline=True, prompt_continuation=prompt_continuation)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shown print() and session.prompt(multiline=True, prompt_continuation=...) example, then trace how prompt() handles prompt text and ANSI color codes. Done means a colored prompt remains visible after submitting multiline input without relying on a separate print() call.
