[BUG] Up arrow history no longer preserves pastes, freezes process

- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
Previously, cycling through history with the up arrow preserved pasted text - sections like
[Pasted text #1 +47 lines]
would include the original pasted text when the prompt was submitted a second time.
It seems this has regressed, and now it literally sends the string "[Pasted text #1 +47 lines]" to the LLM.
Further, upon seeing this, the LLM responds with "waiting for the paste from stdin" or similar, and the whole process freezes until manually kiilled.
What Should Happen?
Claude should remember the pasted text for future submissions of the same historical prompt.
