[Bug]: Very longs commands execution in terminal on macos

[Proger666]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

There is a significant delay in commands execution which are run in openhands terminal.
This leads to errors like this:
[The command timed out after 120 seconds. You may wait longer to see additional output by sending empty command '', send other commands to interact with the current process, or send keys to interrupt/kill the command.]
--END AGENT OBSERVATION--

Running commands directly via docker exec does not cause any delays and work normally.

Manual commands execution pose the same significant delays in commands execution.

I believe with the new changes, you can send Yes / No to the question for interactive prompts.
It says:
Add Typscript? No / Yes

[mamoodi]

Oh my apologies. In the new changes, this happens automatically. I just saw it happen in one of my runs. If you leave it running does it automatically send Yes to the terminal at all?

[Proger666]

Yes, eventually it will send "yes" but it's not effective due to terminal timeout

[mamoodi]

Hmmmm in my case it was able to continue but yours looks like it behaved differently?

I also just noticed this error, and I'm also on mac.

I'm not sure if it's related to the OpenHands branch I'm in, but I noticed this while testing out #5284 using CLI mode:
