Research direction

Start in darnit_baseline/tools.py at _build_ask_user_params, especially the header formatting near line 999 and Yes option description near line 1020. Read the context definitions for has_compiled_assets and has_subprojects to see how their labels and hints are supplied. Done means the header is not cut off midword and the Yes option has a neutral description while the hint appears in the question text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue module-baseline needs triage ux

Two problems in _build_ask_user_params (darnit_baseline/tools.py):

  1. The header is key.removeprefix("has_").removeprefix("is_").replace("_", " ").title()[:12] (line 999), so has_compiled_assets is shown as "Compiled Ass".
  2. For a yes/no question the Yes option's description is definition.hint (line 1020). For has_subprojects that is "Set to false if this is a standalone project", shown next to the Yes button.

Fix: an explicit short header per context definition (or truncate at a word boundary), and a neutral description for Yes with the hint shown in the question text.

Drafted with Claude Code; reviewed and posted by me.
