This caused hasUnretrievedOutput() to return false, resulting in completed processes being removed from the queue before the AI could see their output.

Process was added to completedProcesses in shellExecutionComplete() 2. emitRemainingBufferIfListening() advanced lastRetrievedIndex 3. trimRetrievedOutput() cleared the buffer 4. getEnvironmentDetails() later found hasUnretrievedOutput()=false 5. Output was lost before AI agent could retrieve it Fix: Move trimRetrievedOutput() to be called from BaseTerminal.cleanCompletedProcessQueue() which runs AFTER getEnvironmentDetails() has consumed the output.
