Cursor flashing in windows and pasting multi-line auto-submits text #556

Description

@igasmi

Is this a reproducible bug?

  • I confirm this is a reproducible bug, not a feature request, idea, question, contribution proposal, or direction check.

Current behavior

In herdr panes on Windows: (1) the cursor is always a block even when the terminal is set to a bar cursor, and (2) pasting multi-line text submits the input at the first newline instead of pasting the whole thing.

Expected behavior

Panes show the terminal's configured cursor shape, multi-line pastes arrive whole, newlines included.

Reproduction

Set Windows Terminal to a bar cursor (powershell default i believe) → open herdr → open a pane. Cursor shows as a block and is flashing. Then in a pane running any bracketed-paste app (a REPL, Claude Code), copy 2-3 lines of text from another terminal and paste, the first line submits immediately.

Impact

My configured cursor is overridden in every pane, and every multi-line paste fires early, submitting prompts before I finished pasting.

Environment

  • Herdr version: herdr v0.6.9 (Windows release from the website)
  • Update channel (stable or preview): stable
  • Operating system: Windows 11
  • Terminal: Windows Windows Terminal
  • Shell, if relevant: PowerShell
  • Relevant config, if any: default
