Under the hood

Switching the terminal's alternate screen mode now also writes a native cursor escape sequence

What

When Claude Code switches the terminal into and out of its alternate screen mode (a separate screen buffer full-screen apps use), it now also sends an optional nativeCursorSeq escape sequence, both when entering alt-screen mode and, if extended keys are being reasserted, when exiting it.

Why

This helps ensure the terminal's cursor is left in the correct state when Claude Code's full-screen display is shown or hidden.
