What's Wrong?
Title: Up/Down arrow history navigation gets stuck on /compact entry — cannot navigate past it
Steps to reproduce:
Run /compact in a session
Type a new (preferably multi-line) prompt but do not submit.
Press Up arrow to navigate through history
Observe: cursor gets stuck on the /compact history entry and Down arrow will not navigate past it back to the draft
Expected: Down arrow should return to in-progress draft or next history entry
Actual: History navigation freezes at /compact entry; in-progress prompt is lost
Impact: Long manually-typed prompts are permanently lost with no recovery path
Environment: Windows 10, VS Code extension
What Should Happen?
Expected: Down arrow should return to in-progress draft or next history entry
