Claude Code askUserQuestion displays permission request instead of question with options #375
Description
Description
When Claude Code triggers askUserQuestion, the app incorrectly interprets this as a permission request instead of displaying the question with selectable options for the user to respond.
Expected Behavior
When askUserQuestion is called, the app should:
- Display the question text to the user
- Show the available options for the user to choose from
- Allow the user to select and submit their response
Actual Behavior
The app currently treats askUserQuestion as a permission grant request, which prevents users from seeing and responding to the actual question and its options.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use Claude Code in a scenario where it needs to ask the user a question
- Observe that the app shows a permission request instead of the question
- The options for answering the question are not displayed
Impact
This bug breaks the interactive Q&A flow between Claude Code and users, as users cannot see or respond to questions properly.

Works for a single question but not multiple at once (which happens frequently in CC plan mode) "ask me several different multiple choice questions at once" results in being showed the questions json and edit request options buttons.
