What's Wrong?

During planning mode, Claude Code sometimes goes into an "interview" mode to ask clarifying questions in between prompts. Any time I select "Chat About This" instead of picking a canned answer, Claude Code closes the thread and the log claims "User declined to answer questions"

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should then pause and allow dialogue about the question
