The text input is now the last row in the selector and activates immediately when scrolled to — no Enter needed. Tool description updated to instruct the model never to include its own free-text escape hatch in the options array. Closes #229

Summary
This PR replaces the "Other" option in the AskSelector component with an always-visible text input as the last option. This improves the user experience by making the text input immediately visible and navigable, removing the extra step of selecting "Other" to enter a custom response.
GitHub Issue
Closes #229
What Changed
asktool to reflect that a free-text input is always shown and to remove any mention of an "Other" escape hatch in the options array.Notes for Reviewers
asktool remains the same from the caller's perspective, but the internal UX is improved.
