Assistant text before an AskUserQuestion dialog in the same turn is not displayed

Description

When the assistant emits text content followed by an AskUserQuestion tool call in the same turn, the text is not rendered. The UI jumps straight from the previous tool result to the question dialog, so any content the model intended the user to review before answering is silently dropped.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have the model produce a response that contains a text block (e.g. a draft PR message to review) immediately followed by an AskUserQuestion tool call in the same assistant message.
  2. Observe the transcript: the prior tool call renders, then the question dialog renders, but the text between them never appears.

Happened twice in one session, both times with text preceding AskUserQuestion. Ordinary turns mixing text with other tool calls (Bash, Edit, etc.) render fine.

Impact

The question dialog asks the user to approve something they were never shown (e.g. "Use this PR message?" with no message visible).
