Modal dialogs

Modals collect text input from the user. Open one with ctx.interaction.send_modal and handle the submission with @plugin.on_modal_submit:

Required manifest flag: Discord only accepts a modal as the first response, and the platform normally acknowledges slash commands for you before your handler runs. A command that opens a modal must opt out of that acknowledgement on its slash_commands entry:

{ "name": "feedback", "description": "Send feedback", "defer_on_dispatch": false }

With the flag set, call send_modal promptly (within Discord's 3-second window). Without it the modal is rejected with an API error.
