Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
- Start a claude code session
- type
/contexor/reload- - look at completion list
Expected behavior
You will see /context or /reload-plugins or /reload-skills as options since those are built-in slash commands.
Actual behavior
The built-ins do not show. However if you type them correctly and hit ENTER then they execute correctly.
This used to work in Nightly a few days ago but is now broken.
Impact
Minor bug or occasional failure

Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by reproducing the issue in a Claude Code session with /contex and /reload-. Trace how the completion list discovers slash commands and compare that path with the built-in commands that execute correctly. Done means /context, /reload-plugins, and /reload-skills appear as completion options while preserving their existing execution.
