Tianyi Cui ecb8aa5b8e Add a gated Known Limitations and Deferred Work section to every package README
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.

A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.

Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).

Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user
Model-facing `ask_user_question` tool over `ctx.userInteraction`. It lets the model ask the human a concise question when it needs confirmation, a choice, or missing information before continuing.
## Tool
`ask_user_question` accepts:
- `questions` — required non-empty array of question objects.
- `id` — required stable id on each question, echoed in the answer.
- `question` — required question text for each question.
- `header` — optional short heading.
- `options` — optional choices with `label` and `description`. If recommending a choice, put it first and append `(Recommended)` to that label.
- `multi_select` — whether that question may return more than one selected option.
The tool calls `ctx.userInteraction.ask()` and returns JSON text shaped as `{ "answers": [{ "id": "...", "selected": ["..."], "custom": "..." }] }`. `selected` contains option labels; `custom` is present only for a free-form answer and overrides selected choices.
## Role
This is the consumer package for the user-interaction seam. It does not render UI and does not know how input is collected; it only translates model arguments into `AskUserQuestionRequest` and returns the human answer to the agent loop.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **A pending question blocks the tool call until the human answers** — the tool declares no `timeout-policy` budget; cancellation rides the turn's `exec.signal` only.
- **Answers return as JSON text** — the seam's structured `AskUserQuestionAnswer` is serialized into the tool result rather than carried as typed content blocks.
