Research direction

Start with the os.get_terminal_size() entry point and review the existing patch referenced as python/cpython#12697. Confirm the intended fallback behavior for stdin and run the relevant os tests; the issue is done when the API checks stdin as requested without regressing existing terminal-size behavior.
