Some coding agents drop an Enter keystroke that arrives in the same event-loop tick as a burst of text input. Add a 50ms delay between delivering text and pressing Enter in SendKeys. Affected agents (Enter dropped with 0ms delay): - Codex: intermittent — fails under rapid/burst sends - Cline: consistent — 5/5 Enter keystrokes dropped Unaffected agents: - Claude, Gemini, Amp, OpenCode: all handle 0ms fine See tmux/tmux#1778 for prior art: tmux maintainer confirmed the application can eat keystrokes that arrive before it is ready, and the fix is a timing delay.
