[Bug]: option + arror keys producing ;3D or ;3C instead of moving to the next word #3193

Description

Current Behavior

Since the beginning of using wave terminal I was able to use ⌥ + ← (option + left arrow) and ⌥ + → (option + right arrow) to skip over words in the shell session. After the latest one or two updates, I get ;3D or ;3C inserted when I do this.

Steps to Reproduce
Type a couple words, then type ⌥ + ← (option + left arrow) to go back and forth.

It works in the standard terminal, or in any other integrated terminal in an IDE like antigravity, cursor, intellij ...

Expected Behavior

It should skip to the next or previous seperator.

Steps To Reproduce

Client Version 0.14.4 (202603271721)
ZSH

⌥ + ← (option + left arrow) and ⌥ + → (option + right arrow)

My wave term settings:

{
  "autoupdate:channel": "latest",
  "telemetry:enabled": true,
  "term:theme": "warmyellow",
  "term:scrollback": 10000
}

Wave Version

0.14.4

OS Version/Distribution
