* fix(agent-status): clear answered Claude question waits at answer time An answered AskUserQuestion left the amber "waiting" indicator on sidebar rows and tabs until the agent's next tool hook or turn end — unbounded linger while the model thinks or streams after the answer (measured 17s for a 1000-word reply, 44s for 3000 words). Root cause is an event-shape change: newer Claude reports the AskUserQuestion wait as PermissionRequest (not the PreToolUse shape #7852 special-cased), so the wait inherited real-permission stickiness and shouldKeepClaudePermissionVisible swallowed the answer-time PostToolUse(AskUserQuestion) working event — the identity match can never succeed because the question's PermissionRequest carries no inheritable tool_use_id. That silently undid #8311 for questions. Two scoped changes, both keyed on the tool name rather than the hook event name: - Sticky permission hold now exempts AskUserQuestion waits, so the real answer-time hook (when Claude sends one) clears the wait as #8311 intended. - New guarded inference for the hook Claude may never send: the submit keystroke (Enter or digit quick-select) into a pane whose fresh status is a waiting AskUserQuestion synthesizes the post-answer state, exactly mirroring the existing interrupt inference (renderer baseline capture, main-process re-validation, listener lead-state sync so child-driven refreshes cannot resurrect the dismissed question). Real permission waits (other tools) keep their sticky semantics; batched input and pastes never match the submit classifier. Verified live against a real claude CLI: waiting -> working within ~50ms of both Enter and digit answers, question card dropped, unanswered questions still hold amber, permission stickiness covered by tests. * fix(agent-status): guard question answer inference Keep multi-question, multi-select, and free-text selector interactions waiting until the full prompt is submitted. Wire native-chat answers into the same guarded inference only after every paced runtime write succeeds, with cancellation and delivery-failure coverage. * chore(skills): refresh manifest for rc.2 * fix(agent-status): verify native chat answer delivery * fix(agent-status): await verified question delivery * fix(agent-status): pin native-chat answer baseline before delivery The native-chat question-answered inference read the live pane status at settle time (after the paced send + remote acceptance, which can span seconds on SSH). If a replacement AskUserQuestion became current in that window, the settle callback minted a fresh baseline from the new question and the server cleared *its* wait — dismissing a question the user never answered. Capture the answered question's baseline before delivery and have the inference getter return it, so the server re-validates against the pinned baseline and rejects a changed status — the same capture-then-revalidate contract the terminal keystroke path already uses. Also hoist the shouldStepNativeChatAskAnswer predicate to a single evaluation. Regression test swaps the live status between sendAnswer and settle and asserts the answered question's baseline is used (fails against the prior live-read getter).
