feat(cli): implement bash mode with improved UX

- Add bash mode that activates when user types "!" - Clear input and
show red "!" column when in bash mode - Exit bash mode with backspace on
empty input - Prepend "!" to commands on submission - Adjust input width
and placeholder in bash mode - Add comprehensive test suite (26 tests) -
Simplify toggle width calculation

Fixes issue where users couldn't exit bash mode without typing first.

+ * Tests for bash mode functionality in the CLI.
+ * 
+ * Bash mode is entered when user types '!' and allows running terminal commands.
+ * The '!' is displayed in a red column but not stored in the input value.
+ * 
+ * Key behaviors:
+ * 1. Typing '!' enters bash mode and clears input to ''
+ * 2. In bash mode, input is stored WITHOUT '!' prefix
+ * 3. Backspace on empty input exits bash mode
+ * 4. Submission prepends '!' to the command
