Description

This is definitely a bit of a niche scenario.

I'm using the git_checkout resource to fetch a repository. It's using SSH key for Git authentication. The SSH key is password protected. I will get a password prompt in the terminal in which I ran tilt up. Whenever I press the 'T' key, instead of writing it to the prompt, it seems to open the Tilt legacy terminal mode instead.

Any ideas for workarounds appreciated.

Research direction

Start with the git_checkout resource and the terminal input path used when running tilt up, focusing on the interaction with Tilt's legacy terminal mode. Reproduce the SSH password prompt with a password containing T; done means T is entered into the password prompt without opening legacy terminal mode.
