…ommand the Enter guard in the message composer checked !showCommands, but showCommands is set to true whenever the input is a single word starting with /. this blocked Enter from sending even when the typed slash-word matched zero registered commands -- the dropdown was not visible, yet the key was swallowed. this is a bug because it prevents users from sending LLM-directed slash commands (e.g. /podcast, /admin) that are not registered as Chainlit UI commands. fix: only block Enter when the command dropdown is actually rendered, i.e. when showCommands is true AND filteredCommands is non-empty. no change in behavior when the slash-word matches a registered command -- the dropdown still captures Enter for selection as before.

Fixes the message composer so Enter sends the message when a single-word slash input matches no registered command. Enter is only blocked when the command dropdown is visible (when
showCommandsis true andfilteredCommandshas items); behavior is unchanged for real commands.Written for commit ac12cf2. Summary will update on new commits.
