[y/n/A]' prompt when stdout is a T… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Deno is sandboxed by default; refused operations throw NotCapable, and when stdout is a terminal with no flag Deno prompts interactively instead of failing. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Using -A/--allow-all turns the sandbox off entirely (docs) Limitations: - Exact prompt suppression semantics of --no-prompt beyond the security page were not verified. Other error fragments: - Deno requests net access to "example.com". Run again with --allow-net to bypass this prompt. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denoland/docs/main/runtime/fundamentals/security.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Running without flags: 'error: Requires net access to "example.com", run again with the --allow-net flag'; refused operations throw Deno.errors.NotCapable; when stdout is a terminal and no flag is passed, Deno pauses with an interactive 'Allow? [y/n/A]' prompt; --deny-* overrides --allow-*; -A disables the sandbox; later reads 'fail outright under --no-prompt'.
