+# Multi-line / long payloads arrive as a bracketed paste: Claude's TUI buffers
+# them as a "[Pasted text]" block that needs an explicit submit. A trailing
+# Enter sent immediately after the literal text is swallowed into the paste
+# (treated as a newline, not a submit), so the turn silently never submits —
+# the input just accumulates across sends. A short pause before Enter lets the
+# paste settle so the Enter registers as a submit. Single-line sends (e.g. the
+# orchestrator cold-start kick) were unaffected, which is why this only bit
+# long turns like the rounds prompt.
+#
 # Concurrent sends to the same pane can still race the input buffer. Callers
 # that need ordering should serialize externally (flock on a per-pane lock).
