fix(cli):change the placeholder of input during the shell mode

Open JayadityaGit opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Summary

When the user enters shell mode, the input placeholder continues to suggest normal chat usage. However, in this mode, the input only accepts shell commands.

As a result:

  • Entering regular messages fails.

  • Using @ for file path references also fails.

  • The UI implies capabilities that are not actually supported in shell mode, which can be confusing for users.
