What's Wrong?

Description

User messages (prompts) are not visible in the conversation view in Claude Code.
Only Claude's responses are displayed. This has been ongoing for approximately 2 weeks.

Affected platforms

• Claude Code web version (<claude.ai/code>) ❌
• Claude Code desktop app ❌
• Claude chat (<claude.ai>) ✅ works correctly

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Claude Code (web or desktop app)
2. Type a message and send
3. Claude's response appears, but the user's message is not displayed

Expected behavior

Both user messages and Claude's responses should be visible in the conversation.

Actual behavior

Only Claude's responses are shown. User messages are invisible, making it
difficult to follow the conversation flow.

Additional context

• The issue does not occur in the Claude chat interface (<claude.ai>)
• Persisting for approximately 2 weeks
• Affects both web and desktop versions of Claude Code simultaneously
