What's Wrong?
When executing custom slash commands, Claude's thinking blocks (interleaved thinking mode) don't appear to be generated, even though they work normally in regular conversation.
What Should Happen?
Claude should generate thinking blocks (when thinking_mode is set to interleaved or auto) during slash command execution, just as it does during normal conversation.
