AskUserQuestion now logs detailed completion stats and shows a transcript line for itself again

What

The AskUserQuestion tool, which lets Claude ask you a question mid-task, now records a tengu_ask_user_question_completed telemetry event each time it finishes, including how many questions and choices were involved, how many were multi-select, text, or number type, how many were answered, whether there was a follow-up, an outcome (afk_timeout, follow_up, responded, answered, or unanswered), and an optional source hash.

Separately, the tool no longer suppresses its own line in the transcript: a custom override that always hid it has been removed, so its activity is now visible like other tool calls.

Why

The added telemetry gives better insight into how these questions get answered (or ignored, or time out), and removing the transcript suppression means you can now see when the tool ran instead of it being invisible.
