[BUG] Options dialog covers response text in Cursor terminal (widescreen, wide option lists)

What's Wrong?
When an interactive options/permission dialog appears in the TUI, it overlaps and hides the text directly above it (Claude's response). While the dialog is open there is no way to temporarily dismiss it to read the covered output and then bring it back.
This is especially bad on widescreen monitors: the terminal is wide enough that the option list renders as wide, tall rows, which pushes the dialog up and covers more of the response — the text below becomes completely unreadable.
Related: #27995 (mouse/scroll captured during interactive prompts), #54162 (overflow dialog scrolling).
What Should Happen?
Expected: a way to collapse/hide the active dialog to read the output above, then restore it — or have the dialog never occlude the preceding response.

Steps to Reproduce
Environment: Claude Code running in Cursor's integrated terminal (macOS/Windows).
Repro:
- Ask Claude something that produces a long response ending in a multi-choice or permission prompt.
- The options dialog renders over the bottom of the response.
- The covered lines can't be read without resolving/answering the prompt first.
