**The terminal replays terminal QUERIES, which get typed into the shell.** `sidecar/pty/sessions.mjs`
replays the whole scrollback on attach; query sequences in the buffer get re-asked, xterm.js answers,
and the answers arrive as keystrokes. Visible to a member daily. Fix is to strip query sequences in
`appendBuffer`, so a replay reproduces output and never re-issues requests.
