What happened

Until 2026-10-01, the desktop app showed a suggested next prompt as grey ghost text in the composer after each reply, and Tab accepted it. Since 2026-10-02 it no longer appears.

What I checked

  • The "Prompt suggestions" setting is still On.
  • Toggling it Off and back On does not restore the ghost text.
  • Neither the user-level settings file nor the project-level settings file contains any entry that disables it.
  • Restarting the desktop app does not restore it.
  • Turning Remote Control off for the session does not restore it.
  • Restarting the app with Remote Control off does not restore it either.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26300
  • Desktop app version: 2.19675.0
  • Output style: default
  • The affected session was created on 2026-09-21 and has stayed open since, with automatic context compaction in between.

Question

Issue #86382 describes the same symptom and attributes it to a remote feature gate that resolves to false per account, with no local override. Is this the same cause here? If so, is there any way for a user to see the gate state, rather than the feature silently disappearing?
