A half-received mouse report is now discarded instead of dumping stray characters into your prompt.

What
The terminal input parser can now recognise a partial mouse sequence, wait briefly, and discard it if the rest never arrives, instead of letting the leftover characters land in your prompt.
Details
- The parser tracks a dropped-prefix state with its own expiry deadlines and matches an incomplete escape sequence.
- Click dispatch now reports one of three outcomes, handled, unhandled or stray, with a flag marking a click dropped as stray.
- Click events carry a field indicating the click merely activated the terminal window, so a focus click can be told apart from a real one.

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