[Bug] /new command not recognized when issued by user in conversation

Bug Description
Claude thinks /new does't apply to it: /new

⏺ /new is a built-in Claude Code command — just type it directly in the CLI prompt (not
as a message to me) to start a fresh conversation.

❯ you are claude code

⏺ You're right, apologies! /new is a built-in CLI command that I can't execute for you.
You'll need to type it directly at the CLI prompt, or just go ahead and ask your next
question — happy to switch topics right here.
