What's Wrong?

When agent view is active (default since ~v2.1.139), typing a slash command such as /logout does not invoke the CLI command. Instead, the input is treated as a prompt and forwarded to the active subagent.

What Should Happen?

Slash commands should be intercepted and handled by the CLI regardless of whether agent view is active.

Error Messages/Logs

No error output. The command silently misbehaves rather than failing visibly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use Claude Code v2.1.139 or later (agent view is default)
  2. At the prompt, type /logout (or any other slash command)
  3. Observe that the command is sent as a prompt to the subagent rather than handled by the CLI
