Previously, when navigating the history in the Node.js REPL, multiline commands were displayed line by line, making it difficult to review and edit complete blocks of input.
This PR improves the REPL history behavior by treating multiline commands as a single entry. Now, when scrolling through history, entire blocks of multiline input are displayed together, improving usability and consistency.
Key changes:
Impact:
