Paste drops $' sequence from clipboard content

Bug description
When pasting text that contains the character sequence $' (dollar sign followed by single quote), that sequence is silently dropped from the pasted content.
Reproduction
- Copy the following SQL DDL to clipboard (e.g. from a text editor or terminal):
routing_number ~ '^\d{9}$') UNIQUE
- Paste it into Claude Code's input
- The pasted text becomes:
routing_number ~ '^\d{9}) UNIQUE
The $' before the closing paren is stripped.
Expected behavior
The full text including $' should be preserved on paste.
Notes
- This affects any content containing
$'— regex patterns in SQLCHECKconstraints are a common case $'is a special variable in some shell contexts (ANSI-C quoting in bash), which may be related to the stripping
Environment
- macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
- Claude Code CLI
