Ought not the operating system provide you with a way to always
get a known-good-to-you login-prompt? Some way that user-code cannot
intercept, detect, or redirect?



And Linux does. alt-sysrq-k kills any programms running on the terminal
allowing the system to start up a fresh known-good login prompt for you.



Before now, I've never heard of "sysrq". What is it?
