What happened?

When typing Chinese in Qwen Code's terminal UI, the IME composition text (pinyin / candidate characters) appears on an extra line at the bottom of the terminal instead of at the cursor position in the input prompt. Characters only appear at the correct location after composition is confirmed. This makes CJK input experience very poor.

This is a known defect in the ink framework affecting all ink-based CLI tools:
ink#759 — CJK input lag, character drops, wrong cursor position
ink v7.0.0 (released 2026-04-08) — ships useCursor hook and declarative Cursor component
Qwen Code v0.14.5 uses ink 6.2.3 (confirmed in package-lock.json), which does not include this fix.

What did you expect to happen?

The IME composition window should appear at or near the cursor position inside the > input prompt, consistent with how CJK input works in a normal shell. Pre-edit text (pinyin, partial Hangul, etc.) should be visible at the logical cursor location, not on a separate line at the terminal bottom.

Suggested Fix

Upgrade ink dependency in packages/cli/package.json from ^6.2.3 to ^7.0.1
