[FEATURE] Suggested-reply/autocomplete in Claude Desktop can leak answers in active-recall learning workflows

Problem Statement
The Claude Desktop app shows an auto-suggested next message below the input box during a conversation. In active-recall learning workflows — where Claude presents a question, word, or prompt and the user is meant to produce the answer themselves before seeing it (e.g. flashcards, vocabulary drills, Q&A-style learning tools) — this suggestion sometimes contains the actual answer, effectively spoiling it before the user has a chance to recall it on their own.
Proposed Solution
The suggested-reply feature should either avoid suggesting content when the conversation context indicates the user is meant to produce a specific answer themselves (active-recall/learning format), or there should be a setting to disable auto-suggested replies entirely.
Alternative Solutions

Use Case Example
- Build/run any learning-style conversation in Claude Desktop where Claude asks a question or shows a prompt, and the user is supposed to type the answer themselves (e.g. a custom vocabulary quiz, a Q&A drill, flashcard-style practice).
- Observe the auto-suggested reply chip/autocomplete below the input box.
- The suggestion occasionally contains the expected answer, inferred from conversation context (e.g. an example sentence containing the target word/concept).
Additional Context
Defeats the purpose of active-recall learning workflows, since the answer is visible before the user attempts to recall it themselves. This isn't specific to one app built on top of Claude — any conversation where the user is meant to self-test is affected.
