Error: write EPIPE in vscode and cursor terminals

[technicalpickles]

Describe the bug

I'm basically re-reporting #538 . Basically, I see this in Cursor and VScode randomly in the terminal, like hitting return a bunch of times:

❯ node:events:502
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Steps to reproduce

2. tide configure, use basically any configuration you can think of
3. open vscode/cursor, and open a terminal
4. hit enter a bunch of times

Output of tide bug-report:

Please copy the following information into the issue:

os: macOS 15.6
terminal emulator: Cursor

Additional context

I tried a ton of different configurations, but wasn't able to isolate it to any one part of the prompt. For example, I started with my normal multi-line, transient powered, icon-full and tried to strip it down as much as possible (basically 1 for every option), but I was able to reproduce in every case.

I tried with and without terminal auto-injection):

The original bug, #538, mentioned:

found the error is from

string match -q "$TERM_PROGRAM" "vscode"
and . (code --locate-shell-integration-path fish)

from the vscode instructions. if remove these two lines error disappears.

But, but it's not really clear what vscode instructions it's referring to.
