What's Wrong?

In an interactive question prompt (the multiple-choice UI the assistant raises), selecting an option and then pressing n to attach a note submits the note but drops the selected option. The assistant receives (no option selected) plus the note text, and the prompt output is labeled (notes only). The choice I actually highlighted — including which preview/option it was — never reaches the model.

What Should Happen?

Pressing n to annotate should attach the note to the selected option, so the model receives both the chosen option label and the note. Adding a note should augment a selection, not replace it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Trigger a multiple-choice question with 2+ options (bonus: with ASCII preview art).
  2. Highlight one option (e.g. "Bravo").
  3. Press n and type a note.
  4. Submit.
  5. Observe: the result shows (notes only) / (no option selected) — the highlighted option is absent; only the note is conveyed.

Error Messages/Logs

No error. The tool result reads: <question>=(no option selected) notes: <my note text>.

Additional Information

Confirmed via a live probe: a 3-option question with distinct ASCII previews was answered by selecting one and pressing n; the model received only (no option selected) + the note and could not determine which option (or preview) was highlighted. Practical impact: any question where a user wants to both pick an option and leave a comment silently loses the pick.

Duplicate of #65894, which is the same bug (and a more thorough report — it identifies the regression and last-working version). Closing in favor of that one.
