/output-style query reports 'default' after style was set to non-default value

Description

After setting the output style to "Spock" via /output-style, querying the style again with the same command reports "Kept output style as default" — even though the system prompt correctly includes Output Style: Spock.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run /output-style and select "Spock"
  2. Confirm output: "Set output style to Spock"
  3. Run /output-style again and query the current style
  4. Output reads: "Kept output style as default"

Expected behavior

The query should reflect the currently active output style ("Spock"), not "default."

Actual behavior

The style is correctly applied to the conversation context (the system prompt includes Output Style: Spock), but the CLI's state query reports "default."

This suggests the output style is applied to the conversation but not durably stored in whatever state the /output-style query reads from.

Environment

  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
  • Shell: zsh
