What's Wrong?

When typing /, the autocomplete menu appears, but typeahead filtering doesn't work. Typing additional characters (e.g., /config) does not filter the command list - all commands remain visible regardless of what I type.

What Should Happen?

After typing /, continuing to type should filter the command list to show only matching commands. For example, typing /com should filter to show only /compact, /commit, /commands, etc.

Error Messages/Logs

````shell
No error messages. The menu appears but does not respond to typed characters for filtering.

````

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in terminal
  2. Type / - autocomplete menu appears (correct)
  3. Continue typing, e.g., /config
  4. Observe: command list is not filtered, all commands still visible
  5. Must manually scroll/arrow through full list to find command
