Windows: Pasting file path freezes prompt with "pasting text..." and becomes unresponsive

Bug Description

When pasting a file path (e.g., a screenshot path from Windows Explorer) into the Claude Code prompt on Windows, the terminal displays "pasting text..." and then freezes completely. The prompt becomes unresponsive — no further input is accepted. Claude Code CLI commands can still be issued but the prompt never recovers. The only fix is to kill and restart the terminal.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code in Git Bash on Windows
2. Copy a file path from Windows Explorer (e.g., C:\Users\...\Screenshots\screenshot.png)
3. Paste it into the Claude Code prompt

Expected Behavior

The pasted text should appear in the prompt as normal input.

Actual Behavior

• Terminal shows "pasting text..."
• Prompt freezes and becomes completely unresponsive
• No further typed input is processed
• Must kill and restart the terminal session

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100
• Shell: Git Bash (bash)
• Claude Code: CLI (Max subscription)
• Terminal: Windows Terminal
