Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing or duplicated characters while typing commands into the WebUSB REPL, then trace how REPL input is captured and transmitted. Done means commands such as microbit.accelerometer.get_x() arrive complete and without duplicated characters, with the reported error no longer occurring.
