[FEATURE] Claude code CLI - Preserve screen output after /btw instead of clearing display

Problem Statement

If I ask a side question using /btw, when I'm done reading the answer and ready to return to the main flow of interaction, dismissing the answer clears it from the screen. I can't imagine any universe in which this is desirable behavior. In particular, it's not uncommon for the output to be something that should be copy-n-pasted elsewhere, but if you hit space before doing that you're out of luck. This is related to but not the same as #27242, which collects a vast number of complaints about the same annoying behavior in the context of compaction. But /btw is specifically soliciting information; it makes no sense whatsoever to hide the information immediately after dispensing it. (In general, the CLI is way too aggressive about clearing the screen, but this particular case is uniquely annoying.)

Proposed Solution

I ask a question with /btw and see the answer. And when I'm done it stays there in the output stream like anything else Claude said.
