@deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction

Abstract user-interaction seam. It owns ctx.userInteraction, the service a model-facing tool or permission plugin uses when it needs to pause work and ask the human for a decision.

Service: UserInteractionService (ctx key: userInteraction)

Public API

• ctx.userInteraction.registerProvider(provider): () => void Register the UI-side provider. Only one provider may be active in a context; disposal unregisters it.
• ctx.userInteraction.ask(request): Promise<AskUserQuestionAnswer> Ask the active provider and wait for the answer.

Key Types

• AskUserQuestionRequest — { questions: [{ id, question, header?, options?, multiSelect? }], agent?, signal? }.
• AskUserQuestionOption — { label, description? }.
• AskUserQuestionAnswer — { answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }.
• UserInteractionProvider — UI implementation with ask(request).
• UserInteractionError — HarnessError subclass with codes such as EMPTY_QUESTIONS, NO_PROVIDER, DUPLICATE_PROVIDER, and ASK_ABORTED.

When an answer includes custom, selected is empty; custom text is an override rather than a supplement to selected choices.

Role

This is the interface package. Model-facing consumers such as @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user depend on this seam; UI front doors such as the stdio-agent readline module and the acp bridge provide the provider. The loop stays unchanged: a tool call simply awaits a promise, and the tool result resumes the normal agent loop.
