Add Input_drain capability so textbox widgets can process all buffered printable characters at once, preventing lag when typing fast. - Add Miaou_helpers.Input_drain module with drain_pending_chars() - Driver registers drain function at startup - Textbox_widget.handle_key drains pending chars after each keystroke - Validated_textbox uses the same mechanism 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closing as obsolete. The Matrix driver (now default) solves typing lag at the architectural level with non-blocking 1ms polling at 30 TPS, which comfortably keeps up with human typing speed. The matrix driver also has its own drain mechanisms at the driver level ( |

Summary
Add Input_drain capability so textbox widgets can process all buffered printable
characters at once, preventing lag when typing fast.
Problem
When typing quickly in a textbox, characters could buffer up in the terminal input and
each keystroke triggered a full render cycle. This caused noticeable lag between
typing and seeing characters appear.
