Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
When /experimental ask-user returns content that includes a Markdown table, the table does not render correctly in the terminal UI. This makes structured comparisons hard to read and reduces the usefulness of ask_user for workflows where the user needs to choose between options, review tradeoffs, or inspect tabular data.
### Proposed solution
Render GitHub-flavored Markdown tables correctly in /experimental ask-user, with proper column alignment, borders or spacing, and wrapping behavior that remains readable in narrower terminal widths.
### Example prompts or workflows
_No response_
### Additional context
Expected behavior: tables should be readable and preserve row/column structure inside the /experimental ask-user flow.
Actual behavior: table formatting breaks, so columns collapse or become visually misaligned.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the /experimental ask-user terminal UI entry point and its Markdown rendering path. Reproduce the issue with a GitHub-flavored Markdown table at narrow and normal terminal widths, then verify that columns remain aligned and readable while preserving row and column structure.
