What's Wrong?

running /context renders the context visual below the input bar.. looks a bit strange but not the worst. but it also disappears after a few seconds, making it impossible to read.

What Should Happen?

it should remain, at least giving enough time to actually read it. but preferably imo stay until the user interacts showing they want to move on.

this worked perfectly previously where the output would sit in the ordinary conversation log.
