/deep-research and /workflows commands unusable with official Claude auth, but work via third-party API (e.g. Kimi)

What's Wrong?
When authenticating with official Anthropic/Claude authorization, the /deep-research and /workflows slash commands cannot be opened/initiated. When switching to a third-party API provider (e.g. Kimi), the same commands work as expected.

What Should Happen?
/deep-research and /workflows should work the same way regardless of auth/provider, as long as the account has the relevant features enabled.
