What happened

In Plan Mode, while answering a question in Japanese, pressing Enter to confirm an IME conversion candidate sends the answer immediately.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Codex desktop app and enter Plan Mode.
  2. Ask/receive a question that requires a typed response.
  3. Type Japanese text with IME and trigger conversion candidates.
  4. Press Enter to confirm a candidate.

Expected behavior

Enter during IME composition should only confirm composition, not submit the answer.
Submission should occur only when composition is finalized and the user explicitly submits.

Actual behavior

Candidate-confirmation Enter is interpreted as submit.

Frequency

Always
