What's Wrong?

[BUG] Custom slash commands autocomplete but return "Unknown command" on execution (Claude Code Desktop) Environment: Claude Code Desktop (macOS), model Opus 4.8. Custom project commands in .claude/commands/*.md. Summary: Custom slash commands appear in autocomplete/Recents but every invocation returns Unknown command: /name. Did you mean…, including as the first message of a brand-new session.

What Should Happen?

Expected: command executes. Actual: "Unknown command." Filename shows in autocomplete, so it's discovered but not registered as runnable. Same behavior for other untracked commands (e.g. /day12) added in the same batch. Commands present at an earlier launch (/day1–/day9) still run. Workaround: "Read .claude/commands/<name>.md and execute it" works fine. Possible regression: Did not occur on the previous model/app version; began after updating to Opus 4.8.
