Pull request overview
This PR fixes a terminal display issue where newline characters (\n) don't properly return the cursor to column 0, causing text to display in a staggered pattern. The fix enables linefeed mode when creating new terminal instances in the WASM API.
Key Changes:
- Enable linefeed mode by setting
wrapper.terminal.modes.set(.linefeed, true)after terminal initialization

Without linefeed mode enabled, \n only moves the cursor down without returning to column 0. This causes text to display in a staggered pattern instead of properly aligned at the left margin. This fix sets the linefeed terminal mode to true when creating a new terminal instance, making \n behave as expected (LF + CR).
