[kgryte]

If you are making this a public API, it needs to come after the _ prefixed methods/properties below.

[kgryte]

Why is this property necessary? As best I can tell, you never use it anywhere.

[kgryte]

Okay. I think I know what is going on. You need to override this property, I am guessing, as other consumers may assume the existence of a columns property?

[0PrashantYadav0]

Yes, that's exactly it. The "other consumer" is Node's readline interface, which assumes its output stream exposes columns. Since OutputStream sits in front of the TTY, it must define columns to forward the viewport width; that's also why it has to keep the exact name columns rather than a _‑prefixed one.

[kgryte]

Based on CI, looks like you've broken syntax highlighting.

I don't see anything off, but hard to say without actually using the REPL. So, let's go ahead and merge, and we can address any further issues in follow-up PRs.
