Claude asks clarifying questions in /btw side-question context where user cannot respond

Description

/btw is a single-turn interaction — the user cannot reply after Claude responds (only option is to dismiss the overlay).

However, Claude sometimes responds with clarifying questions instead of a direct answer, leaving the user stuck with no way to respond.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use /btw to ask a side question
2. Claude responds with a clarifying question (e.g., "Could you clarify which X you mean?")
3. User has no way to answer — only option is to dismiss with Space/Enter/Escape

This has happened multiple times in a single session.

Expected behavior

Claude should always give a direct answer in /btw context, never ask follow-up questions. The model should be aware it's in a single-turn context and adapt its response accordingly.
