gotta admit, might be a wontfix, but should investigate doing the REPL step on a separate thread, and letting the SFML window respond, even if events are blocked from interacting with Python

Superseded by ImGui Console

The new ImGui-based console (see #36) replaces the blocking PyRun_InteractiveLoop REPL. The game window now remains responsive while the console is open:

Python commands execute synchronously but in-frame (quick commands are instant, long operations still block)
The console uses ImGui text input instead of stdin, so the window doesn't freeze waiting for terminal input
Press ~ to toggle the console overlay

The old REPL code (McRFPy_API::REPL()) still exists and can be removed in a future cleanup.

Recommendation: Close as "superseded" - the new console architecture inherently solves this issue.
