Summary

  • Add prompt_read helper that reads from /dev/tty instead of stdin
  • Replace all 8 read -r calls with prompt_read so interactive mode works when piped via curl -fsSL https://devrail.dev/init.sh | bash
  • Matches the pattern used by rustup, nvm, and other curl-pipe-bash installers

Test plan

  • curl -fsSL https://devrail.dev/init.sh | bash enters interactive mode and accepts input
  • curl -fsSL https://devrail.dev/init.sh | bash -s -- --help prints usage
  • curl -fsSL https://devrail.dev/init.sh | bash -s -- --all --languages python --ci github --yes runs non-interactively
  • 16/16 bats tests pass
  • make check passes

fix(container): read interactive input from /dev/tty for curl-pipe-bash
71b083c 
When run via `curl | bash`, stdin is consumed by the script content so
interactive prompts silently fail. Read from /dev/tty instead, matching
the pattern used by rustup, nvm, and other curl-pipe-bash installers.
