- PR #139371: fix(dashboard): map collapsed modified Returns to an explicit newline sequence

These items all concern the dashboard chat input and how modified Return keys (Shift+Enter, Ctrl+J) are handled for inserting newlines. One title describes them submitting instead of inserting a newline, and two are fix-titled changes about preserving or explicitly mapping those newline shortcuts.
