/context and /cost TUI renders off-screen and disappears (v2.1.11, macOS)

Description
The /context and /cost commands render their TUI visualization off-screen. The content is only visible when scrolling up, and after ~10 seconds the normal input prompt reappears, making the visualization essentially unusable.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.11
- OS: macOS Darwin 25.2.0
- Terminals tested: Terminal.app, iTerm2 3.6.6
- TERM: xterm-256color
- Theme: Dark mode
- claude doctor: OK
Steps to reproduce
- Run
claude - Type
/contextor/cost
Expected behavior
Context/cost visualization appears on screen and is readable
Actual behavior
- Screen appears to go black
- Content is pushed off-screen (only visible when scrolling up immediately)
- After ~10 seconds, normal prompt returns
- Content disappears from scroll history
Additional notes
/modelcommand works correctly- Issue persists across both Terminal.app and iTerm2
- Enabling "Save lines to scrollback in alternate screen mode" in iTerm2 may help preserve the content, but the visualization still renders incorrectly
