What's Wrong?

The session enters an indefinite "pondering" state with no output after denying an action approval and sending a follow-up message in the chat. The stop button in the web interface has no effect. The only way to recover is to kill the terminal process on the local machine with Ctrl+C and restart the session. Additionally, the web interface approval dialog only offers three buttons (deny, allow once, always allow for session) with no free-text field to provide alternative instructions, unlike the VS Code extension which includes this option.

What Should Happen?

Claude should read the denial and the follow-up message and adjust its approach accordingly, without freezing. The web interface approval dialog should include a free-text field for alternative instructions, matching the behavior of the VS Code extension.
