[BUG] ide references are not working in agents mode

What's Wrong?
When /ide is connected with Claude Code and you are sending references to it they do not land in the input.
The only way to start a new session from the agent view is to start typing something.
For example I want to type
Please refactor [I send a file reference from IDE]
but it does not get appended:
<img width="511" height="775" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2dc950ec-b479-45d0-a5dc-a6b87c3d77dd" />
Then the session starts and if you look into it, in fact it was added (file ref is @skipper):
<img width="511" height="775" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3afd461-c9a2-4303-86b4-bcfa554fb444" />
Only for some reason in the beginning
What Should Happen?
When typing in the agent view files sent from /ide need to land in the input, same for files highlighted via ide.
Steps to Reproduce
Start claude agents
Connect to an IDE.
In the IDE send some file to Claude.
See that the file is missing in hte input

This issue was fixed as of version 2.1.143.
@bogini seems like the issue persists,
the agents "parent" view does not receive inputs from the IDE,
child sessions do receive them.
This is a problem because you need these references when starting a new session from the parent view.
