// metadataHandshake is the OSC sequence a metadata-aware pager emits, as its first
// output, to announce that it speaks the diff-line-metadata protocol: a version-only

// swallowed on a real render, escapeInterpreter.dropMetadataIfHandshake.

// diff-line-metadata protocol, by running it on empty input and checking for its
// handshake. It's the focused main view's signal for whether it can act on the
// pager's rendered diff or must fall back to the raw diff (see
// StagingHelper.DiffMainViewShouldRenderRaw). The verdict is content-independent —
// the handshake is the pager's first output regardless of the diff — so the caller
// caches it per pager.
//
// No PTY is needed: git needs a terminal to decide to invoke a pager, but the pager
// itself emits the handshake whenever EMIT_OSC1717_METADATA is set, so we can run it
// directly with empty input.
//
// A git-config external diff driver (useExternalDiffGitConfig) is chosen per file via
// .gitattributes and a single diff can mix drivers, so there's no one pager to probe;
// we conservatively report false (the focused main view then always renders raw).
