The Ctrl+C description appears inaccurate. The actual implementation in crates/goose-cli/src/session/input.rs (lines 42-57) only clears the current line if text is entered, or exits if the line is empty. It does not interrupt a request during processing. The behavior should be documented as "Clear the current line if text is entered, or exit the session if line is empty" to match the actual code behavior.
Suggested change
| - **`Ctrl+C`** - Clear the current line if text is entered, interrupt the current request if processing, or exit the session if line is empty | |
| - **`Ctrl+C`** - Clear the current line if text is entered, or exit the session if the line is empty |
