What's Wrong?

## Description

Prompt suggestions never appear after Claude responds. This happens in every context —
projects with CLAUDE.md, empty directories, even /tmp with no configuration at all.

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior

Prompt suggestions should appear below the input after each response.

## Actual behavior

No suggestions ever appear. The input is blank after every response.

Additional Information

## Troubleshooting already done

• Verified /config → Prompt suggestions shows enabled
• Tested in /tmp with zero config/CLAUDE.md (same result)
• Confirmed ~/.claude/settings.json has no hooks or suggestion-disabling config
• Previously had hooks configured (removed them) — issue persists with "hooks": {}
• On latest version (2.1.69)
