Yes, I'm interested, because I think it would help me understand how
Emacs renders text in terminal, which would help me to implement child
frame in terminal. But I don't have the time to do it right now. I
hope I can start doing this by late October.

I think you meant the following in Bash:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
printf "%$((COLUMNS - 4))s\e[31mr\e[32mg\e7\e[32mg\e8\e[@\e[31mr\e[m" "" ; sleep 1 ; printf '\n'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And it works on St, Kitty, Coterm, Term, etc.
