Initial session suggestions lack tab-to-accept and send button

Description
When starting a new Claude Code session, the placeholder/suggestion text that appears in the input field behaves differently from mid-session suggestions:
Current behavior:
- Initial session suggestions don't respond to
Tabkey to accept - No "send" button appears on the right side of the suggestion
Expected behavior:
Tabshould accept the suggestion (same as mid-session)- "Send" button should appear on the right side (same as mid-session)
Steps to reproduce
- Start a new Claude Code session
- Observe the initial placeholder suggestion in the input field
- Press
Tab- nothing happens - Note the missing "send" button on the right
Comparison
| Feature | Mid-session suggestions | Initial session suggestions |
|---------|------------------------|----------------------------|
| Tab to accept | ✓ Works | ✗ Does not work |
| Send button | ✓ Visible | ✗ Missing |
Impact
Minor UX friction - users familiar with mid-session suggestion behavior expect the same interaction pattern at session start.
