What's Wrong?

I often work by writing some unstructured notes in a doc, then pasting into claude code to chat about it. In this case, I tried to do it with one of the subagents in the Agent Teams framework, and was informed that he can't see the pasted text.

What Should Happen?

Agents should be able to see the pasted text.

Error Messages/Logs

Agent conversation:

⏺ I've reviewed all the key files in the codebase and notified the Mayor that I'm ready for the Overseer's design questions. I'm standing by.

❯ Hi doc, I'd like to talk about the chain reaction logic.  I'm just going to dump my unstructured thoughts, and then we can work through the issues one by one: [Pasted text #2 +17 lines] 

⏺ Let me read through the Overseer's thoughts carefully.

⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ I don't have the pasted text directly available. Let me check if the Mayor relayed it.

  Looking at the message from the team-lead, the pasted text with "+17 lines" about chain reaction logic wasn't included in what I received. Let me ask the Mayor to relay it.

⏺ I've asked the Mayor to relay the Overseer's full pasted text, since I can see the reference to it but not the actual content. Standing by.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an agent team. Spawn a teammate. Paste text to the teammate. Suffer.
