Pasted text appears on the input stream like any other input. Using
`historical' (non-bracketed) paste, there's nothing to indicate that
text is the product of a paste. When using bracketed paste mode, the
pasted text is delimited by

ESC [ 200 ~ before the text; and
ESC [ 201 ~ after it.

Readline recognizes the bracketed paste indicator and reads input until
it sees the end-of-paste indicator. This allows readline to insert the
text as a unit, suppress interpreting any of the pasted characters as
readline commands, and highlight it.
