[BUG] IME (ATOK) candidate window overlaps input area on Windows Terminal
Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
When typing Japanese text using ATOK IME in Claude Code's input prompt,
the IME candidate/conversion window overlaps with the input area,
making it difficult to see what is being typed.
What Should Happen?
The IME candidate window should appear directly above or below the
input cursor without overlapping the input text, as it does in
normal terminal input (outside of Claude Code's TUI).
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Claude Code in Windows Terminal on Windows 11
- Switch to ATOK (Japanese IME)
- Type Japanese text requiring conversion (e.g. "かんきょう" → "環境")
- Observe the position of the IME candidate window

Terminal/Shell
Windows Terminal
Additional Information
- Windows 11 26H2 (Build 26300)
- Windows Terminal 1.24.11321.0
- IME: ATOK (JustSystems)
- The same issue likely occurs with MS-IME and Google Japanese Input,
as the root cause appears to be Claude Code's TUI (React Ink) hiding
the real terminal cursor position from the OS IME subsystem.
