Input field won't grow past 2 lines in v2.1.89

Description
After upgrading to v2.1.89, the prompt input field visually caps at 2 lines. Text can still be typed beyond the visible area, but it's not visible — the field doesn't expand.
Reproduction
- Upgrade to v2.1.89
- Start a new session (
claude) - Type or paste a prompt longer than 2 lines
- Input field stays at 2 lines — text beyond that is invisible
Expected behavior
Input field should grow vertically to show all typed text (as it did in v2.1.87).
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.89
- OS: Linux 6.8.12-16-pve
- Terminal: xterm-256color
- CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER: tested both 0 and 1, no difference
Notes
- v2.1.87 does not have this issue — input field grows normally
- Rolling back to v2.1.87 is not viable as it lacks statusline support and hook events introduced in v2.1.88+
