fix(questhelper): keep the option dialogue open while a pressed option resolves - #2255
In-client bug report MB-H4EW6D (Microbot client 2.6.57, Quest Helper script, quest Troll Romance; the reporter says it happens on other quests too).
When a conversation with a quest NPC reaches an option menu, the quest helper closes the menu with a walk click on the player's own tile and then talks to the NPC again, so the conversation starts over instead of advancing. The activity recorder in the report shows a "Walk here" click landing while the option menu was open, twice in 20 seconds, followed by a second Talk-to on the same NPC.
Root cause
QuestScript dismisses an option menu with a walk click when it finds no quest option to press, on the assumption that the menu is unrelated to the current step. That decision had no memory of an option the script had pressed itself. After a press, the next loop pass (400 to 1000 ms later) can still see the option interface, finds no highlighted option, and fires the walk click, which closes the conversation the press was about to advance.
A first version of this fix held the walk click behind a 5 s window, but the window was only cleared right before a walk click, so option menus less than 3 s apart shared one window.
Change
QuestScript records the time of each option press (noteOptionPressed) at the direct press in the choices loop, when Rs2Dialogue.handleQuestOptionDialogueSelection() returns true, and when Rs2Dialogue.acceptQuestStartDialogue() returns true.
The walk click is held for 1.8 s after a press, whatever the option list shows, and for up to 5 s more while the option list is still pending (showing "Please wait..." or no options). Worst case after a press is about 6.8 s, after which the old dismiss behaviour resumes.
Each press starts a fresh wait, and the wait is cleared on every pass that does not enter the option-menu branch.
New Rs2Dialogue.isOptionSelectionPending reports whether the option list is still pending.
While the hold is active, Microbot.status is set to "Quest helper: waiting for the dialogue option to be accepted".
Validation
./gradlew :client:runUnitTests --tests '*QuestScriptOptionSelectionPendingTest' --tests '*Rs2DialoguePendingOptionListTest' --tests '*ClientThreadGuardrailTest' --no-parallel --max-workers=2 passed: 15 tests (8 + 6 + 1). The full unit test suite was not run.
Reviewed by a code reviewer and a player-experience reviewer; both approved with nits.
Known gaps
Not run in a live client. Please confirm on Troll Romance that the conversation is no longer started again and that no option menu stays open longer than about 7 s.
The new tests cover the helper methods (isAwaitingOptionSelection, noteOptionPressed, isPendingOptionList). The guard placement inside the run() loop is not covered, so a change that moves or removes the guard would not be caught.
Option presses made by per-quest custom logic and by the Imp Catcher step do not record a press time; only the pending-list check protects those from the walk click.
An option menu with no option texts now delays the dismiss click by up to 5 s.
The wait status text is not replaced when the hold ends, so it stays until another step sets the status.
The "Please wait..." placeholder text was not confirmed in a live client; the press-time hold does not depend on it.
…n resolves
After an option is pressed the dialogue stays visible until the next game
tick with a placeholder in place of the options. A loop pass in that window
found no quest option and clicked the player tile, which cancelled the
conversation and made the helper talk to the NPC again. The dismiss click now
waits while the option list is not a fresh selectable one, for at most 5s.

The wait that holds back the dismiss click was only cleared right before
a dismiss click, so a chain of option menus less than 3 s apart shared
one 5 s window and the third menu was closed again. Each option press
and every pass without the option menu now clears the window.
The hold also no longer depends only on the placeholder text of the
pressed option: the script remembers when it pressed an option and keeps
the dismiss click back for 1.8 s while the menu is still open. The
status text says the script is waiting while the hold is active.

Rs2Dialogue now identifies pending option lists, including empty lists and “Please wait...” placeholders. QuestScript records dialogue-option presses and tracks pending-selection timing. While selection remains pending, it sets a waiting status and defers quest-start acceptance and fallback dialogue actions. Tests cover pending-list detection and quest-script timing cases.
Merge Risk: Low · up to a124c
Quest Helper's option-pending check reads dialogue text off the client thread. The worst case is a rare mistimed dismiss or hold. Fixing it before merge is a small change and not a blocker.

Read the option texts on the client thread.
isOptionSelectionPending() is called from the Quest Helper script loop, which runs on a background executor. The Widget::getText stream at line 760 reads live widget text on that thread. getDialogOptionChildren() wraps only the child lookup, so the stream is not covered.
The visibility check at line 758 and the text read at line 760 also run in separate client-thread calls. The dismissal decision can therefore combine state from different moments. Capture visibility and option texts together in one client-thread callback, and return the pending result from that callback. Keep the helper calls inside that callback in a form that does not nest client-thread waits.
