We dont see how a user would be typing a command into the app after exiting

:question: Issue response
Team chose [response.Rejected]
- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: Hi there,
Thank you for your response to my observation regarding the behavior of the exit command. I'd like to further clarify the issue and its potential implications:
Consistency in Command Execution: In most applications, the exit command is understood to immediately terminate the application or end the current session. The ability to execute further commands after typing exit deviates from this standard expectation. Users might unintentionally assume the application has closed and continue typing, leading to unintended commands being executed.
Potential for Unintended Behavior: If additional commands can be executed after the exit command, there is a risk of unintended actions being performed without the user's knowledge. This could lead to data modification or other actions that the user did not intend, especially if they believed the application had closed.
Addressing the Issue: While it may seem unlikely that a user would continue typing after issuing an exit command, it is important to account for all possible user interactions and ensure the application behaves in a predictable and secure manner. Addressing this issue would involve ensuring that the exit command immediately halts further input or command execution, aligning with standard application behavior.
Given these points, I believe that this is a valid bug that the team should consider.
In the picture above, you can see that a user can execute the delete command after the exit command.
