What's Wrong?

So I uploaded a 4.7MB HTML file for debugging and claude prompt can't handle it but even when I say STOP or anything it still try to process the file I had uploaded.

What Should Happen?

When I say "STOP" Claude needs to stop anything and ask for new instructions. Maybe even a /STOP or something to break the loop.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Upload a 5MB HTML file
Than make Claude to analyse it...

It causes the error : Prompt to long

and you can't break it to stop trying to process the file.
