with settings:
```
"chat.agentHost.enabled": true,
"chat.agents.claude.preferAgentHost": true,
"chat.editor.claude.preferAgentHost": true,
```
and host settings:
```
"claudeUseCopilotProxy": false
```
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure settings as above (have not tested _which_ settings impact it)
2. Open Agents View
3. Type a claude slash command like `/context` or `/usage` - note the autocomplete
Expected Result:
The command is run and the output is shown
Actual Result:
The message cannot be sent - nothing happens after pressing enter or manually clicking send - the input remains untouched (does not clear). No obvious error is emitted.
