Bug Description
Title: Tab key not working to toggle thinking mode, always enabled on startup (v2.0.67)

Description:

  • Version: 2.0.67
  • OS: Windows
  • Model: Sonnet 4.5 (Default)

Bug:

  1. Tab key no longer toggles extended thinking mode on/off
  2. After startup, extended thinking is always enabled regardless of the setting in settings.json
  3. Even when ~/.claude/settings.json contains "alwaysThinkingEnabled": false, thinking mode is always on
  4. This causes unexpectedly high token consumption

Expected behavior:

  • Tab key should toggle thinking mode on/off
  • settings.json configuration should be respected on startup

Additional info:

  • /config shows "Thinking mode: true" after every restart
  • Input bar color indicates thinking is always enabled (purple instead of gray)

Environment Info

  • Platform: win32
  • Terminal: null
  • Version: 2.0.67
  • Feedback ID: 9b9cb90c-1d25-4bd2-a41b-01d89d25da9e
