Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. First reproduce the display difference in code-server 4.89.0 with Edge using the reported bash prompt text, then trace the browser-side rendering path; done means the escape sequences display like the expected screenshot without regressing native VS Code or Codespaces behavior.
