What's Wrong?

I prompted /status while Claude Code was busy. It resulted in

> /status

● I'll check the system and account status for you.

● Bash(echo "Claude Code Status Check" && echo "========================" && echo "" && echo "Working
      Directory: $(pwd)" && echo "Git Branch: $(git branch --show-curre…)

What Should Happen?

It should not have mattered that it was busy - ideally, it should be able to respond to /status in parallel with it's normal workflow, but at least it should be able to provide the regular status command response once it's not busy.
