-feat(web): `choices` Rich Interaction card (AskUserQuestion) for the React SDK + web-chat example
-
-The `choices` interaction kind (structured multiple-choice ask, modeled on Claude
-Code's AskUserQuestion) now has a web renderer. `ChoicesCard` (exported from
-`@smooai/smooth-operator/react`) renders each question's `header`, prompt, and
-option chips — radios when `multiSelect` is false, checkboxes when true — plus a
-free-text **"Other"** escape hatch per question that is always available. Submit
-builds the canonical `{ answers: [{ header, options?, other? }] }` values and
-resumes the parked turn via the existing `submitInteraction()` verb; a Decline
-path sends `declined: true`. Server-side `interaction_invalid` errors re-render
-per question with the turn still parked.
-
-A minimal `interactionCards` registry (`kind` → card) is exported so a client
-looks the card up by kind; `choices` is registered there. The web-chat example
-declares the `choice_chips` capability in `create_conversation_session` and
-renders the card in its overlay slot above the composer.
-
-Also regenerates `src/generated/types.ts` from `spec/` (adds `ChoicesSpec` /
-`ChoicesValues` / `ChoicesPayload`; picks up the already-merged optional-`agentId`
-and `choice_chips` spec descriptions). No protocol/client change — the generic
-`submit_interaction` verb already speaks every kind.
