fix: improve command parsing to handle Output: separator correctly

- Fixed parseCommandAndOutput to properly handle the newline + 'Output:' separator
- Added test cases for commands with numbers at the start of output lines
- Updated existing tests to use template literals for proper newline handling
- Fixed test assertions to handle multiple code blocks when output is present

This resolves the issue where output lines starting with numbers (like 'wc -l' output)
were being incorrectly parsed as the command instead of the actual command text.
