A multi-select question in the pending question card could not be answered with nothing checked. With no box checked, Next or Submit stayed disabled and Enter did nothing. A user who wanted none of the options had to type free text, and nothing on the card said that was possible.
Reproduced on main (6577c6b618), web dev server, Claude thread. The agent asked "Which language?" (single select), then "Which extras do you want?" (multi-select: Lint, Tests, CI, no "none" option). After answering the first question, the second showed 2/2 with Submit disabled. Checking Lint enabled Submit, and unchecking it disabled Submit again.
packages/client-runtime (web and mobile): resolvePendingUserInputAnswer now resolves a multi-select with nothing checked to an empty list, so Next and Submit are enabled. A question the provider marks required still needs a choice, and single-select questions are unchanged.[] for an empty multi-select. It used to drop the question from the response.required and minItems > 0 now reach the client as required. An empty multiselect answer is sent as [] instead of being left out.required, so it stays as before. Claude receives the empty list as an empty answer.Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#31991

Optional multi-select questions can now be submitted with no selections. Required multi-select questions remain unanswered until an option is selected. Provider adapters preserve empty selections, and the server formats them as “None selected.”

Explanation
[#31991] The shared pending-input resolver returns an empty list for an optional multi-select with no selections. This enables advance and submit without a custom answer. Tests cover untouched and unchecked selections, required multi-selects, and unanswered single-selects. The recovered-question message path also accepts an empty selection.
Explanation
[#31991] The client and recovered-question changes support empty selections. The Grok and OpenCode changes preserve empty answers across provider interfaces and retain required-selection constraints. The tests support these changes.

Preserve required validation for omitted required.
An untouched multi-select with omitted required resolves to [], and the message-response path accepts it as “None selected.” This bypasses the default-required validation.
Require explicit required: false for empty answers in both paths. Also mark optional multi-selects in the provider projections, and preserve already persisted optional questions. Otherwise, this change would block Claude, Grok, and OpenCode 2 optional multi-selects. Cover both omitted and explicit required values in the tests.
