CLI input freezes after pasting text (not limited to sleep/wake) #16263

Description

@flowioo

Hermes CLI input becomes unresponsive (cannot type, no cursor movement). Only fix is to close and reopen.

Known triggers:
1. macOS sleep/wake cycle (previously reported pattern)
2. Pasting text during normal use (new — confirmed not related to sleep/wake)

 Environment:
 - macOS (version:Version 26.1 (25B78))
 - Terminals: Ghostty, iTerm2 (both reproduce)
 - Hermes-Agent latest

 Repro: Paste any text into the Hermes chat input — after paste, the input area becomes unresponsive to all keyboard input.
