-	// query the terminal before any Bubble Tea Program runs and acquires the
-	// terminal. Without this, Programs that use Lip Gloss/Termenv might hang
-	// while waiting for a a [termenv.OSCTimeout] while querying the terminal
-	// for its background/foreground colors.
-	//
-	// This happens because Bubble Tea acquires the terminal before termenv
-	// reads any responses.
-	//
-	// Note that this will only affect programs running on the default IO i.e.
-	// [os.Stdout] and [os.Stdin].
-	//
-	// This workaround will be removed in v2.
