gum's TUI startup queries the terminal (e.g., cursor position via
CSI 6n) and doesn't always read the reply. The reply bytes
("^[[13;1R") then surface visibly next to the next step title.
A one-time drain at script start (in .automated_script.sh) catches
the boot-time replies but not the gum-per-call ones, since the
artifact came back at every new step().
Add a small _drain_tty helper and call it from step() after the
title gum-style invocation so any pending DSR replies are consumed
before the next prompt runs.
