What's Wrong?
When I try to terminate an @ file reference with space instead of enter:
- it lets me continue typing
- when I press enter to send a prompt it auto-replaces the last word of my prompt in an unintuitive way
Seems similar to https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18702
What Should Happen?
when I use a non-escaped non-filepath character, the file complete lookup should stop/terminate the search
