Terminals that had it on will send normal VT input instead.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Platform-limited: only written when the platform check reports windows. No flag.\n- Only the disable sequence is built; there is no enable counterpart in the bundle.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`WIN32_INPUT_MODE: 9001`\n\n- Area: Windows\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
