7
+ - [#172](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/pull/172) [`dc61836`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/dc61836aa99e3cb6e1339dc6f82ffdab522918ba) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - Add the `ask_user` built-in tool: the agent can pause the run to ask the
8
+ user a structured, multiple-choice question (the in-app analog of Claude
9
+ Code's AskUserQuestion) instead of asking in plain prose. Each call
10
+ carries 1–4 questions, each with a short header, a `multiSelect` flag,
11
+ and pre-made options; a free-text "Other" escape is rendered by the
12
+ client.
13
+
14
+ The tool is forced to client (`device`) dispatch, so the harness pauses
15
+ the run on a checkpoint carrying the questions and the consumer resumes
16
+ by injecting the user's selections as the tool result — no server-side
17
+ execution (the handler is a defensive stub). The default agent prompt
18
+ now steers the model to reach for `ask_user` whenever it would otherwise
19
+ stop to ask the user to choose between options.

+

23
+ ### Patch Changes
24
+
25
+ - [`bf77523`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/bf775237af883a53ee90f0a620434a1929ac82ea) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - `memory_main_edit` now treats an empty `old_str` as append: `new_str` is
26
+ appended to the end of memory (separated by a blank line when memory is
27
+ non-empty). This also handles the first-ever write into empty memory, so
28
+ `memory_main_edit` alone can bootstrap, add new facts, and edit existing
29
+ text — consumers that want to drop `memory_main_write` from the tool
30
+ surface no longer lose the ability to seed empty memory.
31
+
32
+ Both `memory_main_edit` and `memory_main_write` now return a minimal
33
+ `{ ok: true, bytes }` result instead of echoing the entire memory
34
+ document back as the tool result, which kept re-injecting the whole
35
+ document into the conversation on every targeted edit.
