What's Wrong?

Desktop app (Code tab), Claude Code 2.1.295, Windows 11.

In split view (two sessions stacked in one window), a plugin's
ui.render hook for the AbovePrompt band is only drawn in the top pane.
The bottom pane shows no band, even when focused.

The plugin is loaded in the bottom session: its turn.complete and
prompt.section hooks run there normally. Opening the same session on its
own (no split) shows the band as expected.

Expected: each pane draws its own session's AbovePrompt band.

What Should Happen?

Each pane in split view should draw its own session's AbovePrompt band, the same way it does when the session is open on its own.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install a plugin with a ui.render hook on { component: 'AbovePrompt' } that returns a band
  2. Open two sessions in split view (one above the other)
  3. The band shows in the top pane only; the bottom pane has none, even after clicking into it
  4. Open the bottom session on its own: the band shows
