/fast slash command has no effect on Desktop app (Windows, Team plan)

Description
The /fast slash command does nothing on the Claude Code Desktop app (Windows). No toggle, no lightning icon, no error message - it is silently ignored. The fastMode: true setting in ~/.claude/settings.json is also not applied on startup.
This is distinct from #24351 (which was CLI-specific and is now closed). The Desktop app appears to not support /fast at all.
Steps to reproduce
- Set
fastMode: truein~/.claude/settings.json - Enable fast mode and extra usage in Team org admin settings
- Open Claude Code Desktop app (Windows)
- Type
/fastand submit - Observe: nothing happens, no lightning icon, no feedback
Additional testing done
- Removed all custom skills (
~/.claude/skills/) to rule out autocomplete conflicts - same result - Added keybinding
{keys: ctrl+shift+f, command: chat:fastMode}- no effect - Org admin has fast mode enabled + extra usage enabled + available balance
Expected behavior
/fast should toggle fast mode and show the lightning icon, same as in CLI.
Actual behavior
/fast is silently ignored. No toggle, no icon, no error message.
Environment
- Claude Code Desktop app (Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200)
- Claude Code CLI v2.1.92 (installed via npm)
- Team plan (3 seats)
- Fast mode enabled by org admin
- Extra usage enabled with available balance
