What's Wrong?

I noticed when using the up arrow key to access a previous prompt that it included a Claude generated Task input message. I figure this is a bug, but apologies for the noise if it is not.

What Should Happen?

I would expect the user input box history to be scoped to user input messages since.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Prompt Claude in VsCode (I used sidebar integration), until it uses a Task
  2. Use the up/down arrow key to scroll through the input history and look for the Task input.
