Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sys.stdin iteration behavior when input uses '\r' as the line separator. Then trace the relevant standard-library input handling and existing tests to determine the expected iteration behavior. Done means the behavior is covered by a regression test and sys.stdin iterates correctly for '\r' separators.
