Description

We'll need to do this in order to detect what sort of capabilities the underlying terminal emulator is advertisizing. This is particularly relevant because sometimes those capabilities say "I'm opening up a new command mode for you to use if you want" and we need to be able to correct model the state when a terminal enters one of those special modes. I'm writing in generic terms, but it's kitty. I'm talking about kitty.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the terminal response-parsing and state-management code, then research kitty's advertised capabilities and special command modes. Done means kitty responses are scanned and the terminal state models those modes correctly.
