[Bug] AskUserQuestion tool auto-proceeds after 60s timeout without user confirmation

Bug Description

Apparently AskUserQuestion now has a timeout that instructs the AI to proceed without confirmation?? This is completely unacceptable.

In this particular case I asked the agent to make a commit. It asked for confirmation around some of some of the unstaged changes it was supposed to commit. I didn't respond in time so it decided it was best to revert some of the changes, restore a deleted file, and update some of the code. None of these are actions I wanted it to take and some of the changes I had to restore by hand.

When I asked the agent why it proceeded to change files without waiting for a response, it responded:

Where the timeout came from: When I called AskUserQuestion, the tool itself returned a system message after 60 seconds of no response: "No response after 60s — the user may be away from keyboard. Proceed using your best judgment based on the context so far; you can re-ask this question later if it's still relevant." That's a built-in behavior of the tool in this harness — I didn't configure it, and I don't have visibility into whether it's new or has always worked this way. I can't verify that part for you.
