## What

When terminal cursor shape is set via escape sequences (e.g. `\e[6 q`
for bar, `\e[4 q` for underline), the cursor looks identical whether the
terminal is focused or unfocused. Block cursors already convert to a
hollow outline when unfocused, but bar and underline were missing this
treatment.

## How

Added unfocused guards for `Beam` and `Underline` in the cursor shape
match in `terminal_element.rs`, converting them to `Hollow` when the
terminal loses focus. This follows the same pattern already used for
`Block`.

## Why this approach

A hollow block outline is the clearest unfocused signal and stays
consistent with the existing Block behavior. Alternative approaches like
dimming opacity or drawing outlined versions of bar/underline were
considered, but a 2px-wide outlined bar would be nearly invisible at
normal font sizes.

Release Notes:

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
