Bug: Key inputs missed due to unverified sendKey execution #204

Description

Problem/Opportunity

Enhance the sendKey method in keySimulator to prepend a newline and verify the prompt in the output to prevent missed key input

Steps to reproduce

Enhance the sendKey method to:

Prepend a newline before sending the key command to ensure a clean input.

Verify that the session prompt appears in the output to confirm successful command execution.

Log outputs and errors for better visibility.

Expected Behavior

Each key command sent via sendKey executes reliably without being missed.

A newline is automatically prepended to ensure a clean session input.

The method verifies that self.prompt appears in the output before confirming success.

Failures are logged immediately, and the method returns False if any attempt fails.

Overall, key input automation becomes consistent and robust.

Actual Behavior

Some key commands sent via sendKey are occasionally missed.

The method does not always verify that self.prompt appears in the output.

Failures may go unnoticed because errors are not consistently logged.

Automation of key inputs can be unreliable in active sessions.
