## Title

    [Wrangler] 'More than one account available but unable to select one in non-interactive mode' in CI

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Wrangler resolves the account from config, env var, or cache; with multiple accounts and no TTY it throws instead of prompting.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - For Pages (Wrangler 2.16.0), following the message's suggestion to add account_id to wrangler.toml led to 'Pages does not support wrangler.toml'
    
    Limitations:
    - The message moved from wrangler src/user/user.ts to packages/workers-auth/src/core/factory.ts.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/3061 (github_issue, 2023-04-18, reported_symptom): Headless pages publish with multiple accounts fails with the error; message pointed to wrangler.toml which Pages did not support; CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID is the working path. Closed.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/main/packages/wrangler/src/user/user.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): getOrSelectAccountId: throws UserError in non-interactive environments when multiple accounts are available; user must set account_id in config or CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/main/packages/workers-auth/src/core/factory.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Current location of 'More than one account available but unable to select one in non-interactive mode.'
    
    Search phrasings: wrangler multiple accounts CI error; wrangler select account non-interactive; CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID pages deploy
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
