What

The renderer no longer re-sends terminal mode sequences once the interface has been torn down, not just while it is paused, so a shell that regains the terminal is less likely to see leftover escape codes.

Details
  • The bail-out check is now if (this.isPaused || this.isUnmounted) return;, and stored cursor state carries the number of rows emitted.
  • A related probe now tests whether the terminal has already been released rather than whether the app unmounted.
  • Only runs when standard output is a terminal.
Evidence

if (this.isPaused || this.isUnmounted) return;

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
