[BUG] Pasted image indicator "[Image #N]" appears twice in input field

What's Wrong?

When pasting an image into the Claude Code CLI, the image indicator [Image #3] is displayed twice in the input area — once as a suggestion/selection hint ([Image #3] (↑ to select)) and again on the active input line below it. Only one instance is needed.

What Should Happen?

The image indicator should appear once — either as the selection hint or on the input line, not both.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code CLI in a terminal
2. Copy any image to clipboard
3. Paste into the Claude Code input field
4. Observe [Image #3] appears twice: once with (↑ to select) and once on the input line

Environment

• Claude Code Version: 2.1.85
• Claude Model: Opus 4.6 (1M context)
• Platform: Claude Max
• Operating System: macOS 26.3.1 (Tahoe)
• Terminal/Shell: VS Code integrated terminal (zsh)
• Machine: Mac Studio, Apple M2 Ultra, 128 GB RAM

Is this a regression?

Don't know — first time reporting it.

Additional Information

Cosmetic/UX issue. The image is sent correctly to the model — it's just the duplicate display in the input area.
