/**
* Fail-safe consistency check for inline (ghost-text) suggestions.
*
* Ghost text renders `suggestion.substring(trackedInput.length)` after the
* cursor, where `trackedInput` is what the client thinks the user has typed.
* On hosts with non-standard echo (hardware bastion hosts / network OS such as
* `ecOS#`, issue #1013, previously #756 / #906) that tracked value drifts out
* of sync with what is actually on the terminal line, and the ghost ends up
* painted over characters the user already typed (`int` + ghost `terface`
* `intterface`).
*
* This detects the one direction that produces visible corruption: the real
* line being AHEAD of the tracked input (it contains the tracked input
* followed by more, untracked characters). SSH echo latency is the opposite
* case the line is a prefix-behind of the tracked input and is
* intentionally NOT flagged, so the ghost stays responsive on slow links.
*
* Returns true when the caller should hide the ghost.
