What's Wrong?

According to the docs (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills#inject-dynamic-context):

"Each !<command> executes immediately (before Claude sees anything)"

However this interaction with Claude Code 2.1.141 (Haiku) suggests otherwise:

❯ Print the latest user prompt and nothing else. # !`ls CLA*.md`

⏺ Print the latest user prompt and nothing else. # !ls CLA*.md

What Should Happen?

❯ Print the latest user prompt and nothing else. # !ls CLA*.md

⏺ Print the latest user prompt and nothing else. # CLAUDE.md

Steps to Reproduce
