An extended question mode is gated behind an env var and off by default.

Setting the CLAUDE_CODE_QUESTION_EXTENDED environment variable now enables an "extended questions" mode for the AskUserQuestion preview feature, via host.launchOptions.replaceExtendedQuestionsEnabled(true). It only applies when the entrypoint is one of sdk-ts, sdk-py, sdk-cli, local-agent, claude-desktop, or claude-desktop-3p, or when the client type resolves to remote; it is off by default with no fallback-true case, and it is stripped from subprocess and MCP-child environments so it won't propagate.
