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+
