Terminal UIArea: what it touches

Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
The internal code that bootstraps Claude Code's terminal renderer no longer builds its rendering instance directly with individual options for input/output streams. It now calls a shared factory function, passing a backend-kind string ("react"), to construct it instead.
Why
This is an internal refactor to how the renderer is set up, likely to support multiple rendering backends through one shared entry point, with no described change in behavior.
