What
The text input now exposes a willInsertNewline value that is true when Return follows a backslash or is pressed with shift or meta, so surrounding UI can tell submission from line continuation.
Details
The cursor-position guard for the backslash check moved into the shared predicate, fixing an inconsistency where the inner branch required a non-zero cursor offset and the outer one did not.
Evidence
willInsertNewline
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
