fix(cli)#21297: clear skills consent dialog before reload

[manavmax]

Summary

This PR fixes the interactive /skills link --scope workspace flow so the consent dialog is cleared before skills are reloaded. After confirming the prompt, the CLI returns to a usable input state immediately instead of leaving the Yes/No dialog stuck on screen.

Details

• Updated requestConsentInteractive to support an optional cleanup callback before resolving the confirmation promise.
• Cleared the active confirmation request before continuing with the workspace skills link flow.
• Deferred promise resolution with setImmediate(...) so Ink can render the dialog dismissal before the follow-up reload work starts.
• Updated the command UI typing so setConfirmationRequest can explicitly accept null.
• Added tests covering the cleanup ordering and the /skills link command wiring.

This pull request improves the user experience of the CLI's interactive workspace skills linking flow. By ensuring the consent dialog is properly cleared and the UI state is reset immediately after user confirmation, it prevents the dialog from remaining stuck on the screen and allows the user to continue interacting with the CLI without manual intervention.

Highlights

• Consent Dialog Cleanup: Updated the interactive consent flow to explicitly clear the active confirmation request before proceeding with skill reloading.
• UI Responsiveness: Implemented a deferred promise resolution using setImmediate to ensure the UI renders the dialog dismissal before starting subsequent tasks.
• Type Safety: Updated the CommandContext interface to allow setConfirmationRequest to accept null, enabling proper cleanup of the UI state.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a mechanism to clear active confirmation requests in the interactive consent flow. It updates the requestConsentInteractive and promptForConsentInteractive functions to accept an optional cleanup callback, which is now utilized in the skillsCommand to reset the UI state. Corresponding unit tests have been added to verify the clearing logic and the integration within the skills command. The CommandContext interface was also updated to allow setConfirmationRequest to accept null. I have no feedback to provide.
