What's Wrong?

I've used Claude Code in wsl2. An hour ago, think, think hard worked very well. But after update to 4.5 sonnet, It doesn't work. I've typed think , think hard, think harder many times but CC doesn't think at all. How do I activate thinking mode?

What Should Happen?

It should work extended thinking.
