Bug Description

The /delete command runs silently without deleting any conversation or showing any output/error. When executed, it shows a brief loading spinner, then returns to the prompt with no confirmation message and no actual deletion performed.

This occurs when running ForgeCode through the VS Code extension's integrated terminal.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start ForgeCode via VS Code extension (Ctrl+Shift+P → "Start New ForgeCode Session")
  2. Run /delete command in the ForgeCode interactive shell
  3. Observe brief loading spinner
  4. Command returns to prompt with no output, no confirmation, and the conversation remains undeleted

Expected Behavior

The /delete command should either:

  • Prompt interactively to select which conversation to delete
  • Delete the current conversation and show a confirmation message
  • Show an error message with correct usage instructions if arguments are required
    At minimum, it should provide some feedback about what happened.

Actual Behavior

The command runs with a brief loading spinner (~1 second), then returns to the
prompt with:

  • No output message
  • No confirmation of deletion
  • No error message
  • No actual deletion (conversation persists)

Other commands like /compact and /new work normally.
