AI Workbench v1.7.0

[ADD] Shift+Enter inserts a newline in the AI pane (F4). The workbench now pushes the kitty keyboard protocol flag DISAMBIGUATE_ESCAPE_CODES at startup (guarded by supports_keyboard_enhancement(), popped in restore_terminal()), so terminals that support the protocol (iTerm2 3.5+, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, Alacritty ≥0.13) report Shift+Enter as a distinct key event. map_key_to_pty translates it to ESC+CR, which Claude Code and OpenCode interpret as "insert newline" in legacy keyboard mode — the mode the inner PTY always runs in, since the vt100 parser never answers kitty-protocol queries. Scoped to the AI pane only (shell/LazyGit behavior unchanged). On terminals without protocol support (e.g. Terminal.app) nothing changes; the \ + Enter fallback keeps working everywhere. 6 new unit tests in src/input.rs.

[FIX] Alt/Option+Enter now inserts a newline in the AI pane. Previously the ALT branch in map_key_to_pty only handled word navigation (Left/Right); Alt+Enter fell through to plain \r, silently dropping the ESC prefix. It is now mapped to ESC+CR in all PTY panes — this works even without kitty-protocol support.
