xbps-install: Pressing Enter at confirmation prompt should ignore or require explicit input (prevent accidental proceed)

[RandallFlagg]

Description

When running xbps-install (e.g., sudo xbps-install -Su <pkgname>), XBPS prompts the user for confirmation before executing the transaction.

Currently, if the user hits Enter without typing an answer, XBPS treats it as a default affirmative and proceeds with the installation.

Proposed Change

Modify the prompt handling so that pressing Enter does not automatically proceed. Instead, pressing Enter should either be ignored (looping or requiring an explicit y/n response) or completely remove the automatic fallback to "yes" so that accidental keypresses don't initiate package transactions.

[classabbyamp]

this is an intentional design decision, following the common convention where the default is captalized ([Y/n])

[RandallFlagg]

Understood but if the convention is [Y/n] and hitting Enter triggers the uppercase default, then for a safe fallback where hitting Enter does not execute the action, shouldn't the capitalized letter be N (i.e. [y/N])?

[Vaelatern]

Yes, if the default were to say no, then it's [y/N]. Looping forever would be [y/n]. That would be the convention.
