BUG: Chat input loses focus when returning from another window

[jacktrnr]

Summary

When typing in the Amicode chat input, switching to another application (e.g. Slack) and then switching back to VS Code, the cursor disappears from the chat input. The user must re-click the chatbox to continue typing — the focus is not retained or restored on window re-activation.

Context

harmoniqs.amicode@0.3.0; Darwin 25.6.0 arm64; engine base v1.18.10-amicode.17 (harmoniqs/opencode).

Expected vs actual

• Expected: When returning to the VS Code window after alt-tabbing away, focus remains in (or is restored to) the chat input, allowing the user to continue typing without clicking.
• Actual: Focus is lost; the cursor disappears from the chat input and the user must click back into the chatbox to resume typing.

Diagnostics

• no active run
• macOS 25.6.0 arm64, extension v0.3.0, engine v1.18.10-amicode.17

Closing — chat input focus behavior was addressed in the UI polish wave (PR #629 and subsequent overlay syncs). Re-open if focus loss on window switch persists.
