yadm encrypt does not accept input inside zellij #539

Describe the bug

Running yadm encrypt inside zellij prevents character input, making it impossible to proceed with encryption prompts.

To reproduce

Can this be reproduced with the yadm/testbed docker image: No (requires zellij, which isn't in the testbed image).

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install and run zellij (e.g., zellij in terminal).
  2. Inside the zellij session, run yadm encrypt.
  3. Attempt to type characters when prompted (e.g., for passphrase or file selection).
  4. Observe that no characters appear or register.

Expected behavior

yadm encrypt should accept input normally, allowing users to type passphrases or select files for encryption.

Environment

  • Operating system: macOS Tahoe 26.0.1
  • Version yadm: 3.5.0
  • Version Git: 2.50.1
  • Zellij 0.43.1

Additional context

This might relate to terminal multiplexing or input handling in zellij. Works fine outside zellij. No errors logged; just silent input failure.
