Teknium 2ae96939f5 fix(cli): self-heal cooked-mode termios drift that freezes CLI input
When a prompt_toolkit run_in_terminal cooked->raw restore is lost (cancelled
coroutine, racing chained cross-thread windows from background-review
summaries / process-notification prints), the tty stays in cooked mode while
the Application still expects raw. The kernel line-buffers keystrokes and the
CLI appears to stop taking input even though the event loop is healthy.

Observed live 2026-08-13: interactive session left in 'icanon echo' after a
background skill-review fork + notify_on_complete turn; only an external
stty rescue restored input.

Fix: _heal_cooked_mode_drift() re-applies prompt_toolkit's own raw-mode flag
surgery when stdin's lflag has drifted cooked, and process_loop's idle branch
runs a rate-limited _check_termios_drift() watchdog that skips legitimate
cooked windows (app._running_in_terminal), agent-running phases, non-tty
stdin, and Windows.

"""Regression tests for cooked-mode termios drift healing (cli._heal_cooked_mode_drift).
Failure class: prompt_toolkit's ``run_in_terminal`` flips the tty to cooked
mode for every "print above the prompt" window and restores raw mode after.
If that restore is lost (cancelled coroutine, racing chained windows, an
external actor), the terminal stays in cooked mode while the prompt_toolkit
Application still believes it owns raw mode — the kernel line-buffers
keystrokes and the CLI appears to stop taking input even though the process
is healthy. Observed live on 2026-08-13 (session 20260813_113539_0f5b00):
pts left in ``icanon echo`` after a background-review + bg-notification
sequence, healed externally with stty.
These tests exercise the healer against a REAL pty pair — no mocks.
