User input ignored after /compact due to overly broad caveat scope

What's Wrong?

After running /compact, user input is ignored or receives inappropriate responses. The <local-command-caveat> inserted by the CLI instructs Claude to ignore "the messages below", but this scope appears to include subsequent user inputs that should be processed normally.

Example:

• User runs /compact
• User types cd ../../ (intending Claude to execute this)
• Claude either ignores it entirely, responds without executing, or says "Now in /path..." without actually running the command

What Should Happen?

User input after /compact should be processed normally. The caveat should only apply to the /compact command output itself, not to subsequent user messages.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session and do some work
2. Run /compact to compact the conversation
3. Immediately type a simple command like cd ../../ (without additional context)
4. Observe that Claude does not execute the command or responds inappropriately

Is this a regression?

Additional Information

The caveat text says "The messages below" but the scope is ambiguous. It appears to affect all subsequent messages rather than just the immediate command output.
