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
- Open Codex desktop app and enter Plan Mode.
- Ask/receive a question that requires a typed response.
- Type Japanese text with IME and trigger conversion candidates.
- 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.
