Problem Statement

Every so often, using the VS Claude Code Extension, Claude will not render ongoing work in the output pane, making me think that it's done and it's ok to ask it something else. What ends up happening is that I spend a lot of effort building a detailed prompt and then send it. But because Claude is still running, that detailed prompt just gets sent to a black hole and is completely ignored, and then gone forever.

So, now it's wasted my time in multiple ways:
a) not showing all of the output, so makes me miss things I don't know I'm missing
b) having to type the detailed prompt twice

Proposed Solution

Would be great if the "send" mechanism (either via send button or enter to send) would store, say, the last 20, or so prompts so when this happens, I can just have the ability to repost my prompt again, instead of having to start completely over
