What's Wrong?

Claude Code on the web asked me a question

I answered it

Then I go back to check what it's doing and it ignored my answer and instead has said:

"The AskUserQuestion tool is failing repeatedly with permission-stream errors, so I'll make the call myself"

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should not self-authorise actions

The AskUserQuestion UI should work correctly for both the user and for Claude

Steps to Reproduce

Nothing is reproducible

You've vibe-coded a complicated distributed system, the same Claude Code session can be simultaneously viewed via claude.ai website, mobile app, and CC cli via /rc

The system could probably benefit from some formal modelling as there as so many edge cases and bugs open about this area

Opus

Is this a regression?

I don't know
