fix(providers): skip interactive re-auth prompt in non-interactive environments - #471
Merged

Conversation
Single source of truth for "can we prompt the user right now?", based on process.stdin.isTTY. Used to guard interactive prompts (e.g. inquirer) that would otherwise hang or crash (ERR_USE_AFTER_CLOSE) when no TTY is attached to stdin (CI, automation, piped input). Part of EPMCDME-13953.
…vironments handleAuthValidationFailure now checks isNonInteractiveEnvironment() before calling setupSteps.promptForReauth. In a non-interactive context (no TTY), the interactive prompt is skipped entirely and the provider is treated the same way as one with no promptForReauth implementation at all -- printing the actionable failure message and returning a clean, non-hanging result. Fixes the CLI hanging (and crashing with ERR_USE_AFTER_CLOSE) when SSO re-authentication is needed but no TTY is available, e.g. in CI/automation. Fixes EPMCDME-13953.
Adds a "Non-Interactive Environments (CI/Automation)" section to docs/AUTHENTICATION.md explaining the auto-detect fail-fast behavior, its message, and the JWT Bearer Authorization workaround for CI use. Part of EPMCDME-13953.
Spec, plan, technical analysis, complexity assessments, code review verdicts, and QA report for EPMCDME-13953, produced by the sdlc-standard flow. Part of EPMCDME-13953.

Summary
CLI hangs (and crashes with
Error [ERR_USE_AFTER_CLOSE]: readline was closed) when SSOre-authentication is needed but no TTY is attached — e.g. CI, automation, piped invocations. This
fixes it: the shared auth-failure gate now detects a non-interactive environment and fails fast
with a clear message instead of attempting an
inquirerprompt.Changes
