Follow-up from #550 / PR #551.

Since #551, a question card a Bot asks about work handed out from a group sits in that group's composer dock (state.questions[<room id>]). The asking Bot's sidebar row no longer turns to the alert state (sidebar.js BotRow reads roster.questions[part], which is now empty), and the group's RoomRow does not read roster.questions[room.id] at all. The only signal is the group's own unread state, which comes from the reply the admin posts.

Expected: a group with an open question card shows it in the sidebar the way a Bot row does for its own card (alert or waiting state), and the Agent inbox (inbox.js) lists it next to approvals (" asks in ").

Scope: client only (sidebar.js RoomRow, possibly inbox.js); client.js rebuild; tests in core/test/.

    Triage (Birfy, 2026-10-20 22:06 Asia/Shanghai). No design conflict: it only surfaces an existing question card, and answering still happens on the card's own buttons. Proposed details: the group's sidebar row uses the same alert/waiting state a Bot row uses for its own card; the Agent inbox lists ' asks in ' next to approvals and opens that group. Client only (sidebar.js RoomRow, inbox.js, client.js rebuild, tests). Best done after #551 lands. Waiting for the owner's go-ahead (needs-human).

    Owner decision (2026-10-20 22:07 Asia/Shanghai): option a — group row shows the same attention state as a Bot with an open question card; Agent inbox lists " asked in " and opens that group. Frontend only; start after #551 merges.

    Claimed by the maintenance round. Branch: fix/552-group-question-card (client only: sidebar.js RoomRow reads roster.questions[room.id], inbox.js inboxModel adds the group card as Needs your answer, plus a rebuilt client.js, tests and the subsystem doc). One PR follows with Fixes #552.
