Research direction

Start by tracing the MCP issue_write tool's create method and how its form response is presented in Claude Chat; the issue does not name a file or test. Reproduce the reported behavior with Claude Chat and check where the form disappears after appearing briefly. Done means the form stays visible so the user can create the issue.
