Plugin text inputs and dropdowns in the terminal UI can now be focused with a mouse click

What

Claude Code's in-terminal UI for plugins (add-ons that extend Claude Code) includes form widgets like text inputs and dropdowns. These were rewritten around a shared helper that tracks keyboard focus state, and both widget types now respond to mouse clicks on their container, gaining focus when clicked. A new click handler filters out clicks caused by window activation or drag-and-drop, so only genuine clicks trigger focus.

Why

Previously these widgets could likely only be focused via keyboard navigation; now clicking them with a mouse in a terminal that supports mouse input works too.
