What's Wrong?

## Description

Since the auto-update to v2.1.97 this morning, the Ctrl+V shortcut
no longer triggers the "preview" action in the /resume session picker.
Instead, it pastes clipboard content into the search field.

The shortcut bar at the bottom of the picker still shows:
> Ctrl+V to preview

But pressing Ctrl+V behaves as a paste (inserts clipboard text into the
search area) and the preview panel is never shown.

## Steps to reproduce

  1. Run claude in a terminal (WSL2 / Windows Terminal)
  2. Type /resume
  3. Navigate to any session with arrow keys
  4. Press Ctrl+V

Expected: Session preview is displayed in the right panel
Actual: Clipboard content is pasted into the search field, no preview shown

## Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.97 (regression introduced, works fine on 2.1.96)
  • OS: Windows 11 + WSL2 (Ubuntu), Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal
  • Previous working version: 2.1.96

## Workaround

Roll back to v2.1.96:
```bash
ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.96 ~/.local/bin/claude

What Should Happen?

Ctrl + V to preview
