- The daily tool set now also offers tool_help and use_tool, and the
directory marks the tools reached that way; show_panel joins the daily
set. The "lazy" set is gone: a small model spent a third of its calls
looking tools up and never built what it planned.
- Gates window "Waiting for your answer" (1, 3 or 10 minutes): an open
question tells the AI to wait on with get_answers until then, and while
the user types (POST /anomalous/ai_tasks/{id}/typing) until a minute after
the last key. report and show_panel remind the AI to end each round with
ask_user; a question written in a note is pointed to ask_user.
- "Skip this one" is "Your call": the AI decides and does not ask again.
- ComfyUI's own `$$` widgets (the canvas image preview) are no longer
reported to the AI as the user's canvas change.

Every answer, message, set of marks and handed picture shows a pill:
sent and waiting, then the AI has it with the time it did (delivered_at).
Panel questions can be skipped; the AI reads skipped: true.

ask_user shows a question in the AI workbench (options with an optional
recommended one, and unless other=false a line for an answer of the
user's own; no options: a line) and waits in the same call for the
answer, returning the choice or the text. Choices blocks gain
recommended and other; the step is named ask_user ("Asked you"). The
server instructions, begin_task and the workbench prompt tell the AI to
ask every question this way, never in its own chat.

- api/mcp_apps.py + api/mcp_app/task_card.html (MCP Apps, io.modelcontextprotocol/ui): apps that
support it (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code…) show Anomalous's own card under begin_task, show_panel,
report and run_workflow results: the task's steps, latest thumbnails (inline), the AI's open
questions answered with a click (app_answer, plus a chat message so the AI goes on). The card
reads through app_task_view; both tools are for the card only (visibility "app"), are never
steps and never take the user's news. The card never answers a gate: an OK is only given in
Anomalous, so no tool an AI can reach grants one.
- api/mcp_prompts.py: prompts/list and prompts/get, four ready-made requests (slash commands):
workbench_task, pick_best, fix_missing_models, explain_canvas.
