All the traffic back and forth with the terminal happens in the IOHandlerEditLine. We should be able to get our hands on the Debuggers IOHandler and feed characters directly to it, and read the results. So we should be able to write this kind of test by driving the debugger to whatever state you need with SB API and then just run one command and get the output string directly from the IOHandler. We should be able to then scan that output for color codes. I don't think we need an external process inspection tool to do this sort of thing.
