## Cross-platform notes
The question-tool name varies by platform. Use the platform's blocking question tool (`AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code, `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini). In Claude Code the tool should already be loaded from the Interactive-mode pre-load step — if it isn't, call `ToolSearch` with query `select:AskUserQuestion` now. Only when that load explicitly fails, or on a platform with no blocking tool, fall back to numbered options and waiting for the user's next reply before proceeding.

In Claude Code the tool should already be loaded from the Interactive-mode pre-load step — if it isn't, call `ToolSearch` with query `select:AskUserQuestion` now. Fall back to numbered options in chat only when the harness genuinely lacks a blocking tool — `ToolSearch` returns no match, the tool call explicitly fails, or the runtime mode does not expose it (e.g., Codex edit modes without `request_user_input`). A pending schema load is not a fallback trigger. Never silently skip the question.
The fallback chain's final tier (harness task-tracking primitive) does not exist on every target platform. When converted for a platform that has no equivalent of `TaskCreate` / `update_plan`, the agent should treat that platform as "no harness sink" and move directly to the no-sink behavior (omit Defer from menus and tell the user why).
