Show clickable options when a bot asks you a question - #344
Conversation
The Claude CLI has its own AskUserQuestion tool for asking the user to pick from a list. It reached us through the permission tool, so we treated it as "may I run this?" and drew an Allow/Deny box over a truncated blob of JSON. The buttons the bot meant you to press were never shown, and auto mode could answer the question for you. It is now read as what it is: a question. Each one becomes a normal option card with real buttons and each option's own explanation, and the answer goes back in the field the tool documents for it. A bare allow is not enough — the CLI then runs the tool in a headless session with no dialog and tells the model you did not answer, so the click is thrown away. Verified end to end against claude 2.1.238. Also here, all in the same area: - Auto mode can never answer a question for you. That was the whole point of asking. - A question asked inside a room now shows up. It used to draw nothing while the bot waited out a 15 minute timeout. - Closing a question sends an answer rather than a denial. The broker refuses a denial on a question, so closing one used to do nothing. - A card decides allow/deny from the card, never from the button's text. A question whose option happened to read "Allow" would have been sent as an approval and refused. - A malformed question is denied with a reason instead of falling back to the Allow/Deny box this change exists to remove. - A timeout note is no longer filed as your chosen answer. - A permission never takes its buttons from anything the model wrote. The phone renders those as the decision, where every one of them means deny while "always allow" writes a real grant first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds native Claude question handling, structured question metadata, broker answer processing, and multi-select option cards for bot and group threads. Permission requests remain distinct from question requests. ChangesQuestion request and broker handling
Option card resolution
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds interactive question cards and answer handling, but option labels containing commas or repeated question text can produce ambiguous or overwritten answers, while some card controls are not fully accessible to assistive-technology users. These are bounded follow-up risks and the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject question data that cannot round-trip through answers.
Line 132 accepts option labels that contain commas. Multi-select answers use ", " as the delimiter, so a label such as "Research, design" cannot be restored as one selected option.
Line 183 uses question text as the answers key. If the tool sends the same question text twice, the later answer overwrites the earlier answer.
Validate unique question text and reject option labels that cannot use the documented comma-separated representation before showing the cards. Add coverage for both cases.

What was wrong
The Claude CLI has its own tool for asking you to pick from a list. It came to
us through the permission tool, so we treated it as "may I run this?" and drew
an Allow/Deny box over a chunk of JSON. The buttons the bot wanted you to press
were never shown. In auto mode the question could be answered for you, so you
never saw it at all.
What this does
Reads it as what it is: a question. You get a normal option card with real
buttons and a short line under each one saying what it means.
The answer goes back in the field the tool asks for. Just saying "allow" is not
enough — the CLI then runs the tool with no way to show you anything, and tells
the bot you did not answer. Checked end to end against claude 2.1.238.
Also fixed, same area
the bot sat waiting for 15 minutes.
question with an option called "Allow" used to be sent as an approval.
Allow/Deny box this PR removes.
phone those become the decision buttons, where they all mean deny while
"always allow" quietly writes a real grant.
Known gaps
saved answer with the word "answer". This is older than this PR and affects
single-select too.
15 minute wait. One card with one wait may be better — worth a view.
off at 5 minutes even while a card is open.
Testing
typecheck, full suite (1535 pass), electron check and UI build all pass.
New tests cover the proxy, the driver and the answer rules. Also ran it by hand
in the desktop app.
