A latch records who delivered the answer, user or AFK timeout, so an AFK timeout cannot land after you answer and an answer cannot double-fire.\n\n**Details**\n\n- If the answer callback returns false the latch is released, and a single-question auto-submit rolls its selection back to none.\n- A new failure event, `respond_build_failed`, is emitted when building the \"respond to Claude\" result throws. It did not exist in the previous build.\n- Applies to everyone on this build; no flag involved.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`ask_user_question_answer`\n\n- Area: Agents\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
