scotttongandClaude Opus 5 34355e5109 fix(task-chat): selecting an option no longer jumps to the next question (#13602)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent that needs a decision asks in the task composer, which
renders a question set one question per page
> - Single-choice questions use radio options, and the composer also
ships a "Next" button and pagination arrows
> - Selecting a radio option also set a pending advance, waited for a
short confirm animation, and turned the page on its own
> - That takes the page away from the reader while they are still
reading it, and a misclick costs them the question
> - Nothing on the option says that clicking it will navigate
> - This pull request makes selection answer the question and nothing
else
> - The benefit is that moving between questions is always something the
reader chose to do

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

In the task composer, selecting an option with a radio button jumps to
the next question. `QuestionForm.toggleOption()` set `pendingAdvance`
for any single-select question that was not on the last page, and an
effect then read `--motion-question-confirm`, waited that long, and
called `setPage(page + 1)`. With reduced motion it advanced immediately,
with no pause at all.

The result is that a click meant to answer a question also navigates
away from it. There is no way to read the rest of the page after
choosing, and no way to undo the jump other than pressing the back
arrow.

**Expected behavior**

Selecting an option records the answer and stays on the question. Moving
to the next question stays an explicit act.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Get an agent to ask a question set with two or more single-choice
questions.
2. Open the question in the task composer.
3. Click one of the radio options.
4. Before this change the composer moves to the next question on its
own.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`45586170e` on `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Additional context**

Every route forward already shipped beside the options, so removing the
shortcut traps no one:

- a footer button that reads "Next" on any page but the last, and the
submit label on the last;
- previous and next pagination arrows;
- "Skip" on questions that are not required.

The same question sets render outside the composer in
`IssueThreadInteractionCard`, which never had the auto-advance. This
change brings the two surfaces to the same behavior.

## What Changed

- `QuestionForm` no longer sets a pending advance when a single-choice
option is selected. The effect that turned the page is removed with it.
- Selecting an option still clears a submit error about a missing
answer, which is the case that error is about.
- The confirm-before-advance animation existed only to soften the jump.
Its `--motion-question-confirm` token, its keyframes, its class, and the
now-unused `confirming` prop on the option button are removed.
- Tests that asserted the jump now assert the opposite: selection leaves
the page number unchanged, "Next" advances, and number-key selection
stays on the same question.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/task-chat` — the composer,
interaction card, protocol card, and motion token suites pass.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`
— 87 tests pass, including four new tests for the stationary behavior.
- `npx tsc -b ui` — clean.
- Keyboard: options keep `role="radio"` inside a `radiogroup`, and a
test asserts that number-key selection selects without navigating.

## Risks

Low. One deliberate behavior is removed. It costs a reader one extra
click per question on multi-question sets, and the explicit control for
that click already existed and is already tested.
