🎨 Palette: Prevent terminal output artifacts with ANSI Erase in Line#101
Conversation
Replaces hardcoded padding spaces with the ANSI Erase in Line sequence (\033[K) after carriage returns (\r). This ensures clean, reliable terminal updates without "ghost" characters from previous, longer strings. Co-authored-by: EiJackGH <172181576+EiJackGH@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What:
Added the ANSI escape sequence
\033[K(Erase in Line) immediately following carriage returns (\r) when dynamically updating text in the CLI.🎯 Why:
Previously, the terminal UI relied on appending hardcoded whitespace (e.g.,
" ") to overwrite any remaining characters from previous, longer strings. If the previous string was significantly longer, or if the terminal was resized, this could lead to confusing visual artifacts ("ghost" characters). Using\033[Kdefinitively clears the line from the cursor to the end, ensuring a pristine canvas for the new text update.📸 Before/After:
Before: Terminal output could sometimes show trailing characters if a previous message was longer than the current message and the hardcoded padding wasn't sufficient.
After: The terminal line is explicitly cleared, guaranteeing clean output regardless of the previous string length.
♿ Accessibility:
Provides a more consistent and reliable visual experience by preventing confusing on-screen artifacts that might distract or mislead users.
