What's Wrong?

When running Claude Code in a screen session over SSH, an ungraceful disconnect leaves the local terminal emulator in mouse-tracking mode, causing mouse movement to generate escape sequence artifacts:

Local terminal is left in mouse-tracking mode. Example output:

C!HC$HC'HC*HC+HC,HC-H -H#-Ha-Ha-Hc-HC.HC/HC0HC1IC2IC4JC6JC8KC:LC=MC@NCANCCOCEPCFPCGQCHQCIRCJRCKSCLSCLTCLUCKUCJUCIUCHUCFUCEVCDVCCWCBWCAXC@XC?YC>YC=YC=ZC<ZC<[C=[C>[C>\C?\C@\C@]C@^ @^@?^@>^@=^@<^@;^@:^@9^@8^@8]@7]@6]@5]@4]#4]C3]S2]S2\S1\S0\00\P1\P2\P3]P4]P5]#5] 5]@4]```

I have also opened an issue with ghostty: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/12700

### What Should Happen?

The terminal should reset mouse tracking mode.
