Bug report

Steps to reproduce

open otter term and execute a command or simply any form of text
press up to bring the that last thing you input and delete part of it
close terminal while still focusing it (if you focus any other entry or hit down to go back to a blank spot it wont do)
reopen the terminal and press up again
behold how the piece that you trimmed has now substituted the entry entirely

Expected behavior

in other terminals like foot the entry would remain edited but it would be the part you left in on the history

Actual behavior

the deleted part gets saved in its place

Fixed and pushed in otter-term commit 8b84816 (fix(term): let shells finish hangup cleanup). Root cause: PTY shutdown closed the controlling terminal and immediately sent SIGTERM, interrupting shell hangup cleanup/history finalization. Otter Term now gives the shell a bounded 50 ms grace period after hangup, then keeps the existing SIGTERM fallback. Added a regression test that failed under the old shutdown order and verifies hangup cleanup completes. Verified with zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast test (158/158) and zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast.
