Write Terminal Input
You can rely on:
- Input order is kept and output applies backpressure on PTY routes.
- Closing an observer does not by itself end the process.
You can set: input, dimensions. Observation controls where supported.
Not promised: unlimited concurrent observers.
Writes exact bytes to the PTY once. Await calls sequentially to preserve order. Each call is one command round trip on the provider. An uncertain write must not be replayed with a new key. Returns 409 after the shell has ended.
