Steps

cd ~/src/aish && luajit main.lua
$htop
Watch the screen update for a few seconds — CPU/memory bars should refresh.
Press q (or F10) to quit.

Expected

htop renders full-screen with colors, columns, and live-updating bars.
Quit happens on a single keypress.
aish prompt returns with ─── exit 0 ───.

What this exercises

PTY with full-screen alternate-buffer + frequent screen updates. The volume of master→stdout traffic stresses the multiplex loop in executor.lua.

Likely failure modes

htop shows static (no refresh) → master read loop blocked, or output buffered.
Garbled colors after quit → ANSI state escaped from the child PTY.
