/**
 * @fileoverview Collapse a prompt onto the one line an unattended sender writes.

 * @module utils/single-line
 */

/**
 * A prompt as one line: each line is trimmed, blank lines are dropped, and the rest
 * are joined with a single space; a prompt without a line break is returned as is.
 *
 * For the senders that run unattended through `writeViaMux` (respawn's update and
 * kickstart steps, auto-compact). The mux pastes a multi-line prompt as one block,
 * and the check that re-presses a stranded Enter cannot reliably recognise a
 * multi-line paste in the composer, so nobody would notice a prompt left unsubmitted.
 * Cron rejects multi-line prompts for the same reason; these senders join them
 * instead, so a saved multi-line setting is still sent rather than refused.
 *
 * Split and trim, which is linear, rather than one regex replace that folds the
 * whitespace around each break: that regex backtracks quadratically over a long
 * whitespace run (50,000 spaces took over a second).
