fix(opencode): the 2.x home placeholder is not typed input, cut example included (Issue #60, Linux item 1)

An adapter can now name its placeholder as a pattern the box's first line
matches in full (input_placeholder_pattern); input_placeholder stays the
literal lib.sh greps for. opencode: `Ask anything… "<example>"`, the closing
quote optional because a box under ~65 columns cuts the example. Fixtures:
the 140-column herdr capture and a 60-column one with the cut example.
