     ● No response after 60s — continued without an answer

❯ What is this No response after 60s — continued without an answer??????????                                                                

● Direct answer: that line came from the AskUserQuestion tool itself, not from you. When I posed the three-part question ([...]), the tool call sat unanswered for 60 seconds and the harness returned this verbatim:

  ▎ "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."

  So the mechanism is: AskUserQuestion has a 60-second timeout; if no selection arrives, it auto-returns that "proceed with best judgment"
  result instead of blocking. I did not fabricate or skip anything — that's what the tool handed back.

❯ Is this a tool parameter?                                                                                                                 

● No — it is not. I've just checked the AskUserQuestion schema I was given: its parameters are questions, answers, annotations, metadata.
  There is no timeout parameter, no "60s", nothing about response timing. I passed no such parameter, and none exists to pass.
