What's Wrong?

Slash commands that include additional arguments are not being recognized
as commands. Only the bare command (e.g. /mcp) works — as soon as
arguments are appended (e.g. /mcp something), it is treated as plain text.

Actual Behavior

/mcp something is submitted as a plain text message instead of being
parsed as a command with arguments.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.146 (Claude Code)
  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5

What Should Happen?

/mcp something should execute the /mcp command and pass something
as an argument.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a slash command defined (e.g. /mcp)
  2. Type /mcp → works correctly ✓
  3. Type /mcp something (with arguments) → not recognized ✗
