What's Wrong?

When I stash a prompt (Ctrl+S) to run a command (such as /output-style or /usage), I expect this prompt to come back after the command finishes. When I run /add-dir <path>, the stash does not come back, meaning I lost an important/long prompt. Instead, the same /add-dir command stays on my input.

This does NOT happen if you run /add-dir without any arguments. I think this happens because of the confirmation prompt that only shows when calling add-dir with the path in a single line

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should unstash my stashed prompt instead of displaying the /add-dir I just ran.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Write a prompt and press Ctrl+S. Stashed (auto-restores after submit) displays
  2. Write /add-dir <path> and press Enter
  3. Press any option in the confirmation prompt
  4. Prompt stays as /add-dir <path>, pressing Ctrl+S to unstash the prompt on step 1 instead stashes the /add-dir command

In the screen recording I show that unstashing works when running other slash commands (/usage) and when calling /add-dir (and choosing folder-2 interactively), but not when running /add-dir ../folder-3
