## Key changes

- Footer tips wrap at tip boundaries (no truncation mid‑tip); footer
height scales to wrapped tips.
- Keep tooltip text as Esc: interrupt in all states.
- Make the full Tab: add notes tip cyan/bold when applicable; hide notes
UI by default.
- Notes toggling/backspace:
- Tab opens notes when an option is selected; Tab again clears notes and
hides the notes UI.
    - Backspace in options clears the current selection.
    - Backspace in empty notes closes notes and returns to options.
- Selection/answering behavior:
- Option questions highlight a default option but are not answered until
Enter.
- Enter no longer auto‑selects when there’s no selection (prevents
accidental answers).
    - Notes submission can commit the selected option when present.
- Freeform questions require Enter with non‑empty text to mark answered;
drafts are not submitted unless committed.
- Unanswered cues:
    - Skipped option questions count as unanswered.
    - Unanswered question titles are highlighted for visibility.
- Typing/navigation in options:
    - Typing no longer opens notes; notes are Tab‑only.
- j/k move option selection; h/l switch questions (Ctrl+n/Ctrl+p still
work).

## Tests

- Added unit coverage for:
    - tip‑level wrapping
    - focus reset when switching questions with existing drafts
    - backspace clearing selection
    - backspace closing empty notes
    - typing in options does not open notes
    - freeform draft submission gating
    - h/l question navigation in options
- Updated snapshots, including narrow footer wrap.

## Why

These changes make the ask‑user‑question overlay:

- safer (no silent auto‑selection or accidental freeform submission),
- clearer (tips wrap cleanly and unanswered states stand out),
- more ergonomic (Tab explicitly controls notes; backspace acts like
undo/close).
