vyos@r14# run show history 
sudo: set: command not found

vyos@r14#

From op-mode level works, but we see unexpected sudo: set: command not found

In Circinus and Sagitta, show history works correctly in op-mode but breaks in config mode. The #timestamp lines from .bash_history are displayed as separate entries instead of being parsed as metadata, and all entries show the same timestamp.
