DottaandPaperclip 42a4f5b15b feat(ui): advance single-choice questions on selection (#13234)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents ask structured questions in task threads and the composer.
> - The shared form shows one question at a time.
> - A single choice already completes an answer, but the form requires
another click on Next.
> - This pull request moves to the next question when the user selects
one option.
> - Multi-select and custom answers keep their Next step. The last page
keeps explicit submission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The paged question form in the task composer and task interaction cards.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React board UI.

**Current behavior**

The user clicks a single choice, then clicks Next to reach the next
question.

**Proposed behavior**

A single choice shows its checked state for 160 ms, then opens the next
question with an 80 ms fade. Reduced-motion mode skips the animation.
Multi-select stays on the current page until Next. Other stays open for
typing. The last question waits for Submit answers.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove an extra click from each single-choice question while preserving
explicit submission.

**Breaking changes**

Single-choice selection now changes the page. Answer payloads and APIs
do not change. The user can return to earlier answers with the previous
arrow.

**Additional context**

Related work: #12640 introduced the task workspace. No duplicate
auto-advance change was found.

## What Changed

- Confirm a single-choice answer with a brief radio animation and row
highlight, then fade into the next page and focus the new question.
- Use motion tokens for the 160 ms confirmation and 80 ms page fade.
Honor reduced motion and cancel pending advances when the user changes
direction or closes the form.
- Lightly highlight every selected row with a foreground tint that
remains visible against the composer in both themes, for single-select
and multi-select answers.
- Preserve multi-select, custom answers, back navigation, and final
submission.
- Ignore repeated number-key events and selection during an upload or
submission.
- Update composer and card tests. Add interactive and verified composer
stories to the existing interaction Storybook group.
- Document the Storybook scenario in the developer guide.

## Verification

- Focused composer, card, and motion-catalog tests: 121 passed,
including animation timing and cancellation.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook`: passed. Browser interaction story: passed with
the selection animation enabled.
- Selected-row refinement: 121 focused tests, token gates, and Storybook
build passed. Browser inspection confirmed row highlighting for
single-select and multiple selected checkboxes, plus light-theme
contrast.
- Manual browser check: select SQLite, select two features, click Next,
select Now, then submit. The summary contains every answer.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- All 31 remote checks passed on the latest commit (`04a3f3983`),
including typecheck, general and serialized tests, production
build/native-runner verification, canary validation, and browser tests.
Two optional Storybook deployment/visual jobs were skipped. Greptile
reviewed the same commit at 5/5 with no actionable findings. The
selected-row highlight refinement is included in that verification.
- Animation refinement: UI typecheck, UI build, token gates, and 121
focused tests passed.
- The broader UI run had 5,940 passing tests and three failures in
unchanged Inbox/IssuesList tests. Both affected suites passed in
isolation (73/73), including all three previously failing cases.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after reproducing the
native-runner failure below and after the full remote suite passed. It
is not a clean local full-suite result.
- Local runner limitation:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts` has
one reproducible failure in unchanged code. The damaged-epoch recovery
test expects `run.attach requires a settled Codex provider session`; the
runner instead reports `semantic tool input content digest does not
match its transmitted input` at line 1019. After building the missing
fake provider with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
build:rust`, the isolated suite has 36 passing tests and this one
failure. No server or runner files changed in this PR.

## Risks

- Selecting a single choice changes the visible question after a brief
checked-state confirmation. Back navigation preserves the choice so it
can be edited.
- The final page still requires Submit answers. Selecting Other still
requires text and explicit progress.
- No database, server, API, or dependency changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, code editing, terminal tools,
and browser verification. Exact serving revision and context window size
are not exposed in this session.
