Describe the bug

When I use the standard reset command to work around bad terminal state, then it makes problems worse.

Like Terminal.app, reset in Warp breaks the scrolling / block history of recent commands.

Unlike Terminal.app, reset does not place the cursor at the top of the terminal but strangely midway down the window.

To reproduce

1. Enter echo test until the screen fills up, in an exec zsh session.
2. Enter reset.
3. Attempt to scroll back up to recent test commands.

Expected behavior

reset preserves scrolling / block history of recent commands, and places the cursor at either the bottom of the window.

Ideally there would be a configurable preference to indicate which of the top/bottom that reset should move the cursor to.
