Summary

  • Single-select Ask User answers now advance to the next question immediately. The last question stays on screen so the user can still edit or submit.
  • Fold a late ask_user tool_call into the existing pending ask_user_request row, so the dock and timeline do not each render their own card.
  • Hide in-flight ask_user tools from the timeline even before askUserId is attached.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Breaking change
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring / code cleanup
  • Performance improvement
  • Test update

Changes Made

  1. Auto-advance single-select answers in AskUserBlock.toggleOption; leave the last question and multi-select questions in place.
  2. Merge a late ask_user tool_call into the pending request row in the web store.
  3. Always hide running ask_user tools from the chat timeline, even if askUserId has not been attached yet.

Testing

  • cd packages/jcode-ui && pnpm exec vitest run src/components/AskUserCard.test.tsx src/components/Thread.askUser.test.tsx
  • cd web && pnpm exec vitest run src/app/store.askUser.test.ts
  • Manual check: selecting options no longer creates a second card, and the last question does not auto-submit.

Additional Notes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Single-choice prompts now automatically advance to the next question.
    • Multi-choice prompts continue to require manual progression.
    • Previous-question navigation preserves selected answers.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate pending prompts when ask-user responses arrive in stages.
    • Improved hiding of in-progress prompts until complete question data is available.
    • Keyboard shortcuts now target the visible question and do not interfere with focused inputs.

Single-select answers now move to the next question immediately, while
the last question stays put until submit. Fold a late ask_user tool_call
into the existing pending row and hide in-flight cards from the timeline
so the dock is the only visible surface.

Ask User single-select choices now advance automatically. Pending ask_user tool calls merge with existing rows, and incomplete pending entries remain hidden while assistant messages stay visible.

Single-select advancement and keyboard behavior
packages/jcode-ui-core/src/primitives/AskUserBlock.tsx, packages/jcode-ui/src/components/AskUserCard.test.tsx
Single-select choices advance to the next question when available. The final question remains active for submission. Multi-select choices do not advance, and keyboard shortcuts apply only to the visible question.
Pending tool-call reconciliation and visibility

Late ask_user calls merge into matching running pending rows without creating duplicates. Pending entries without complete Ask User data remain hidden while the assistant message remains visible.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9540a

When multiple questions are pending, a delayed response can be attached to the wrong question, producing incorrect cards or lifecycle behavior for users. The PR should not merge until responses are correlated to their originating request.

Use a stable request correlation key before merging.

If two pending ask_user rows have no toolCallID, this loop always selects the newest row. A late tool call for an older request then receives the wrong askUserId and lifecycle metadata.

Carry a shared request identifier on both events and require it to match before updating the row. Add a regression test that attaches two requests and delivers their tool calls in reverse order.

Summary

Clean. The PR adds single-select auto-advance, hides in-flight ask_user cards in the thread (even before askUserId attaches), and folds a late ask_user tool_call into the pending ask_user_request row to prevent duplicate cards. I traced every changed path and found no correctness, security, reliability, or data-loss defect at >=80% confidence. The auto-advance correctly excludes multi-select and the last question and updates its useCallback deps; the store merge has a toolCallID mismatch guard and preserves askUserId/askUserQuestions/askUserTaskId while keeping the row findable by toolCallID for later tool_result events; the Thread filter change only hides non-interactive pre-askUserId placeholders (AskUserBlock.isPending already requires askUserId), and ChatView's always-true hidePendingAskUser matches the pre-existing pattern in ConversationLoadingView. The dock still requires askUserId via the pendingAskUser selector, so the interactive surface is preserved. Tests were coherently updated. (Could not execute vitest: pnpm and node_modules are absent in this environment; verification was by static analysis.)

  • Read ChatView.tsx pendingAskUser selector (requires askUserId) and dock rendering
  • Confirmed ConversationLoadingView already uses unconditional hidePendingAskUser
  • Verified wsBridge dispatches addToolCall (onToolCall) and attachAskUser (onAskUserRequest); both arrival orders handled
  • Read AskUserCard.test.tsx, Thread.askUser.test.tsx, store.askUser.test.ts for coherence with new behavior
  • Checked node/pnpm availability: node v22 present, no pnpm and no installed node_modules -> vitest not runnable
