+  //
+  // 2. OSC 8 hyperlinks: programs emit ESC]8;;URL\atext\aESC]8;;\a to make
+  //    arbitrary text clickable (like Ghostty, iTerm2, etc.). xterm.js has
+  //    built-in OscLinkProvider support, but its default handler shows a
+  //    confirm() dialog. We override with a linkHandler that opens directly.
+  //
+  // Both open on plain click. Ctrl/Cmd+Click is not required — this is a
+  // browser-based terminal where the link-vs-select distinction comes from
+  // whether the user drags (select) or clicks (link).
