Dashboard: message input doesn't show characters as you type #684

Problem

In the mission control web dashboard, when typing a message to send to an agent (e.g. a /command or any text), the characters are not visible as you type. There's no live preview of the input.

Expected behavior

  • Characters appear in the input field as they're typed
  • Backspace/delete works to correct before sending
  • Message sends on Enter

Current behavior

Typing into the input field doesn't render characters. User is typing blind.

Likely cause

The input may be capturing keystrokes but not updating the displayed value, or the input element's rendering is broken (CSS visibility, wrong element type, or missing state binding in the frontend).

Priority

UX blocker for dashboard-based agent communication. Without being able to see what you're typing, the dashboard input is unusable for anything beyond pre-composed paste.
