conhost is in the terminal repo? Huh interesting, that surprises me.

Conhost and Terminal share quite a lot of code in fact. The text buffer, the renderer, the VT sequence parser - all that's the same codebase. That allows bugfixes and improvements to the the Terminal to also flow back to the vintage console (for people who still use that)
Interesting tidbit - thank you for sharing. That's handy for those who prefer the vintage console (including myself).
