What's Wrong?

The issue: when there's pre-existing text in the input buffer, the permission
prompt gets hidden behind it, leaving no visible indication of what Claude is
waiting for or why it's blocked. The UX should either clear/separate the prompt
area to show the permission request above the input, or display it in a way
that can't be obscured by typed text.
