BYK reported that a multi-field question in the dashboard sent only the text from "Other". The picked answers were lost. He also reported that the question was cut off at the start, and that the two scroll areas were jarring.

What failed (prod, 0.268.0)

I reproduced the old UserInputRequestCard in Playwright at 900px viewport height. The card shows above the composer. It has a question area capped at max-h-48 and a form area capped at max-h-96, and each area scrolls on its own. The card is taller than the space it has, so the composer covers the end of the form: the real "Other" input and the form's Send button. The composer's "Message Junior…" box then looks like the optional field at the bottom. A message sent from the composer answers the request by itself, so the card closes and the picked answers are dropped.

The form path itself works. With the old card, the picks plus Other sent Answer to request ask-1:\nAlpha (a): A2\nBeta (b): B1\n…\nOther: my other text. The review item path on main also sends { values, other }.

#2491 removed that card on main. Questions are now review items that show inline in the transcript and in the review items side panel, and each has one scroll area. This PR fixes what remains on main:

  • "Other" reads like it replaces the answers. The old help text was "Anything else, or an answer that is not listed". The input is now "Anything else?" with "Optional. This note is sent together with your answers above." USER_INPUT_NOTE in user-input-request.ts holds this text, so the Slack modal and the dashboard use the same words. The wire format and the model-facing Other: line do not change.
  • No hint about how many choices count. Each choice field now says "Pick one" or "Pick any". This follows BYK's opencode question dock.
  • No progress shown. A form with more than one field shows "N of M answered" next to Send (aria-live="polite").
  • Side panel too narrow. The review items drawer was narrow (440px). It now uses the default width (560px).

The review desk e2e now fills the note with a picked choice, and checks that the request body has both values and other.

Screenshots

The review items side panel in a mock Conversation at 1440x900. Each shot has one choice picked, one target checked, and a note typed.

Before (main) After
Before: narrow panel, the note input is labeled Other, no pick hints, no progress After: wider panel, Pick one and Pick any hints, the note input is labeled Anything else?, and 2 of 3 answered next to Send

The free-text input after a form's fields was labeled "Other" with the
help text "an answer that is not listed". That reads like it replaces the
picked answers. It does not: the note goes with them. Rename it to
"Anything else?" and say that it is sent together with the answers.
Slack and the dashboard share the same copy through USER_INPUT_NOTE.

Each choice field now says "Pick one" or "Pick any", and a form with
more than one field shows how many fields have an answer next to Send.
The review items side panel uses the default drawer width, so option
descriptions wrap less.
