Research direction

Start by reproducing an exception inside a promptSession without full-screen CLI, then trace the promptSession entry point and its exception handling flow. Done means an exception ends only the current prompt while the surrounding promptSession continues accepting input.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

How can we handle the exception such that when any exception occurs (and it is catched), then it should not exit the promptSession?
It is fine to come out of the current prompt which resulted in exception, but not out of whole promptSession.
Note : I am NOT using full-screen CLI. I am using only promptSession.
