An unrelated, documented, yet unfixed bug in 'cli' affecting packages using it.
You need to define (in .Renviron, or via bash for your login, or system wide)
the variable VTE_VERSION with any value, for example '1' will do.
E.g. I call roxygen on the shell via 'roxy.r' from littler and my command
history has a few
VTE_VERSION=1 roxy.r
It also bit me in 'rhub' and other packages communicating via 'cli'.

Yes, this one is cryptic and frustrating. https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/2439#issuecomment-1174146075 You can also solve the problem by installing the development version of cli from Github (the fix was made *one day* after the last CRAN release ...)
