When invoking a recipe via slash command (e.g., /research), the recipe's subrecipes and response schema were not being registered with the agent. This caused 'Unknown subrecipe' errors when the LLM tried to use subrecipes defined in the recipe. The fix adds a call to apply_recipe_components() in handle_recipe_command(), matching the behavior of other recipe invocation paths (CLI, Desktop recipe picker, subagent handler). Fixes the issue where slash command recipes with sub_recipes defined would fail with 'Unknown subrecipe. Available: ' (empty list).

Pull request overview
This PR fixes a bug where subrecipes and response schemas defined in recipes were not being registered when invoking recipes via slash commands (e.g., /research). The fix adds a call to apply_recipe_components() in the slash command handler to match the behavior of other recipe invocation paths (CLI, desktop, subagent).
Changes:
- Added
apply_recipe_components()call inhandle_recipe_command()to register subrecipes and response schemas with the agent before processing the recipe

Summary
When invoking a recipe via slash command, the recipe's subrecipes and response schema were not being registered with the agent. This caused 'Unknown subrecipe' errors when goose tried to use subrecipes defined in the recipe.
Problem
The
handle_recipe_commandfunction inexecute_commands.rswas only extracting theinstructionsandprompttext from the recipe and returning it as a user message. It never calledapply_recipe_components()to register subrecipes with the agent.This meant that when a recipe defined
sub_recipes, they were completely ignored in the slash command flow.Comparing the different recipe invocation paths:
goose run --recipe)Fix
Added a call to
apply_recipe_components()inhandle_recipe_command()after building the recipe, matching the behavior of other recipe invocation paths.Testing
