[BUG] Copy/paste from terminal has new lines instead of wrapping properly

What's Wrong?
Because Claude is a TUI, it dynamically renders physical \n unicode to mimic word-wrapping behavior. Can we please inject an invisible unicode character before or after the \n, so that we can use post-processing to fix the copy-paste?
It's incredibly painful right now when you're working in Claude, want to copy a command from Claude and paste into another terminal, and have to manually remove all the line breaks.
What Should Happen?
Inject a character we can parse for programmatically so that we can write scripts or programs to fix the copied text, outside of claude.
