Terminal color codes are not correctly filtered out

Plugin Type

VSCode Extension

App Version

Version: 5.7.0 (0e72301)

Description

As you can see, it is at time impossible to see what is the actual useful output. I'm starting to get used to it, but it could have been netter. It was better before, this is new to me:

Reproduction steps

1. Make the agent execute a command that uses terminal colors in its output.
2. Observe the color-codes in the output.

this could help https://kilo.ai/docs/automate/extending/shell-integration#shell-integration-failures-after-vscode-1.98

but didn't help for me, the color codes are displayed in "Use Inline Terminal (recommended)" which does not have the "command delay" settings.
