fix(backend): deliver AutoPilot clarifying questions to bot platforms#14435Bentlybro wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
ask_question pauses the turn waiting for an answer, but the bot side only parked it for the web "Needs You" UI -- Discord, Slack, Telegram and Teams conversations just saw the turn end with nothing to reply to. Add a clarification-needed callback alongside the existing setup-required one, rendering the question(s) and options as plain numbered text sent through the adapter's existing send_message -- every platform already implements it, and a typed reply flows back into the paused session like any other chat message. Chunk the rendered text through the same splitter proactive posts use, since ask_question allows up to 10 questions of 25 options each and the combined text can exceed a platform's message cap.

Validate clarification collection types before delivery.
If questions is a truthy non-list value, _extract_clarification_needed returns it. TurnStreamer._clarification_message then can raise TypeError while iterating it. A non-list options value can cause the same failure. The stream sends a generic error instead of the clarification prompt.
Require questions to be a non-empty list. Treat non-list options values as empty lists. Add regression cases for both malformed shapes.

Add one send_message test per platform (Discord, Slack, Telegram, Teams) that feeds the actual _clarification_message output through each real adapter, asserting the numbered question survives that platform's own markup conversion (Discord passthrough, Slack mrkdwn, Telegram HTML, Teams markdown downgrade). The existing tests only exercised the platform-agnostic handler/turn_stream path with a mocked adapter; these confirm the fix reaches each real send path unmangled.

…t platform Bently: this is the "answer with real buttons" follow-up to the numbered-text fix -- Discord/Slack/Telegram/Teams now render clickable options natively where they fit, falling back to the existing numbered text otherwise. Adds a shared bot/choices.py token store (Redis, GETDEL-based single-use fetch so a double-click or a platform delivery retry can't continue the same paused AutoPilot turn twice) and a new optional PlatformAdapter. send_choice_buttons contract (default: unsupported, so nothing else changes for adapters that don't implement it). Per platform: - Discord: discord.ui.View/Button, click handled via the button's own callback, edits the message to show the pick. - Slack: Block Kit actions block + a new /slack/interactive route (Slack's interactivity payloads are separate from the Events API), updates the message via chat.update. - Telegram: inline_keyboard + a callback_query branch in the existing updates dispatch, edits the message and answers the callback query. - Teams: Adaptive Card Action.Submit -- arrives as an ordinary message activity carrying `value` (classic card actions, not the newer Universal Actions invoke flow), posts a confirmation as a new message since there's no update-in-place wired here. Each platform's click handler resolves the token via bot/choices.py and feeds the answer through the adapter's own on_message callback, so it rides every existing linking/threading/session-continuation code path exactly like a typed reply -- no new session logic anywhere. Caps native rendering at 10 options per question (falls back to text above that or when a question has no options); a platform-agnostic ask_question question can mix native-button and text-fallback questions in the same turn.

Return the text fallback when a native label would be clipped.
The native widgets clip labels to 80, 75, 60, and 64 characters. Two options with the same visible prefix can become indistinguishable, but clicking either dispatches its full original text. Return False before native delivery when any option exceeds that platform limit. TurnStreamer will then clear the token and send the full numbered-text fallback.

Register choice handlers after startup. build_choice_view() creates a non-persistent one-hour discord.ui.View, while Redis keeps the choice token for one hour. The startup flow registers no view with Client.add_view() and defines no dynamic interaction handler. After a restart, the posted buttons have no in-memory callback, so users cannot resolve still-valid choices. Use a restart-safe dynamic or persistent handler, or invalidate the outstanding controls.

Continue dispatch after a choice acknowledgement failure.
After resolve_choice consumes the token with Redis GETDEL, an exception from edit_message, chat_update, or _post exits before the resolved option reaches _on_message. Catch and log these acknowledgement failures, then continue to build the context and dispatch the option. Add regression tests for all three adapters.

Check the localized native question against the adapter limit.
PlatformAdapter.max_message_length defines the per-message cap, but each native adapter localizes the question before sending it. A question can fit before localization and exceed the cap after HTML or mrkdwn expansion. The native send can then raise, and stream_batch sends "Something went wrong. Try again in a moment." instead of using the text fallback.
Compute the raw native_text once, check its localized length, and pass the raw value to send_choice_buttons.

Why / What / How
Why: AutoPilot pauses a turn and asks the user a clarifying question via the ask_question tool. The web chat surfaces this fine (parked on the session for the Needs You UI), but every bot platform -- Discord, Slack, Telegram, Teams -- just saw the reply stream end with nothing to answer. SECRT-2604.
What: When ask_question fires, the bot now sends the question(s) and their options as a plain, numbered text message to the platform, with a note that the user can reply with a number or free text. That typed reply flows back into the paused AutoPilot session exactly like any other chat message, because it rides the same per-target session cache every other follow-up message already uses.
How: Adds an on_clarification_needed callback next to the existing on_setup_required one in BotBackend.stream_chat, fired when the tool-output stream carries an agent_builder_clarification_needed payload (mirrors the existing _extract_setup_requirements pattern). TurnStreamer renders it via a new _clarification_message helper and sends it through the adapters existing send_message -- no adapter-specific code, since all four platforms already implement that method. The rendered text is chunked through the same iter_chunks splitter proactive posts use, since ask_question allows up to 10 questions of 25 options each and the combined text can exceed a platforms message cap (verified: a worst-case payload renders to ~52KB and splits into 28 in-bound chunks).
