Description
Suppose you execute some command that prompts for user input; e.g. a standard confirmation "y/n" before proceeding. This is no longer clear in the cell output cell.
The cell output still looks to be waiting for input.
We should create a suitable test case.
A simple python or bash script that prompts for user input might be a good one. We could compare what we see inside runme to what we see inside the terminal to try to reproduce the issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing issue #99 with a simple Bash or Python script that prompts for input, then compare the Runme cell output with the terminal behavior. Identify how the web interface indicates that input is awaited; done means the waiting state is clear and a test covers the prompt scenario.
