What's Wrong?

When the AskUserQuestion tool presents options and the user clicks "Chat about it" instead of selecting one of the provided options, the entire question UI
disappears from the conversation view.

Problem
After clicking "Chat about it":

  • The options are no longer visible in the chat
  • The user cannot copy the option labels/descriptions
  • The user may not remember the exact wording of the options they were considering
  • This makes it hard to reference the options during the follow-up conversation

What Should Happen?

The question and its options should remain visible (even in a collapsed or read-only state) after clicking "Chat about it", so the user can refer back to them during the conversation.

Suggested fix
Keep the question and options visible in a read-only/collapsed state after "Chat about it" is selected, similar to how selected answers are displayed after making a choice.
