Before the first round, run `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/surfaces/registry.mjs" resolve --surface '${user_config.surface}' --data-dir "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}"`, adding `--argument ''` when the user asks for a surface in this session or states which one is configured (the `share` action passes `share`), and `--unattended` when the caller declared the run unattended (Step 1.5). It prints one JSON line: `surface`, `decidedBy`, `available`, `alternatives`, `read`, `handle`, `line`, `planners`, `offers` and `notices`. When `line` is not null, print it verbatim, once, as the first line of the message that asks round 1, and proceed without waiting for a surface choice; print each notice in one line. The line may also name an installed optional planner and offer an optional plugin that is not installed; neither is ever required, and the interview goes on either way.
