Speech/dictation input truncated after ~4 sentences

Summary

When using speech recognition / dictation to compose input in Claude Code, the input is silently truncated after approximately 4 sentences (roughly 100-150 words). The user receives no indication that their speech was cut off — the truncation is invisible until they review the submitted text.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable OS-level speech recognition / dictation
2. Begin dictating a multi-sentence message into the Claude Code CLI input
3. Speak continuously for more than ~4 sentences
4. Observe that the input is truncated mid-thought with no warning

Expected Behavior

• Speech input should accept the full dictated content without arbitrary truncation
• If a buffer limit exists, the user should receive a visible warning before content is lost
• Ideally, no practical limit on dictation length for the input field

Impact

Speech-to-text is a critical accessibility and productivity pathway. Users composing complex, multi-paragraph prompts via dictation lose the tail end of their input without knowing it — leading to incomplete instructions and wasted iteration cycles.
