What's Wrong?

When Claude Code calls the UserAskQuestion tool, the PermissionRequest hook is triggered. The question can then be approved or denied by the program that called the hook, just like other approval requests (Claude does not expect the answer to the question to be approve/deny). Asking the user a question using UserAskQuestion is not the same as "requesting permission," and it seems like a bug that the PermissionRequest hook is triggered when UserAskQuestion is called.

What Should Happen?

PermissionRequest hook should not be triggered when Claude calls UserAskQuestion tool.
