What's Wrong?

Voice mode appears to be enabled by default when starting a new session,
but the recording keybinding (º key) does not respond until you toggle
voice mode off (/voice) and back on (/voice).

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.74
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
  • Shell: Git Bash
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal

What Should Happen?

The voice recording keybinding should be functional immediately when
voice mode is active on session start, without requiring a manual toggle.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a new Claude Code session

  3. Run /voice — output says "Voice mode disabled" (confirming it was "on")
  4. Run /voice again — output says "Voice mode enabled"
  5. Now press º — recording works correctly
