/quest blocks on confirmation prompt in headless (-p) mode — no work executed

[gueysito]

qodercli version: 0.1.32
OS: macOS 15 (Darwin 25.3.0), Apple M4
Install: brew install qoderai/qoder/qodercli --cask

/quest is documented as headless-compatible, but it stops at an interactive confirmation prompt that can't be answered in -p mode. No work gets executed.

Reproduce

qodercli -p "/quest Create a simple Python hello world script" -f json -w /tmp/test --max-turns 25

# Also tried with --yolo — same result
qodercli -p "/quest Create a simple Python hello world script" -f json -w /tmp/test --max-turns 25 --yolo

Expected

Per your docs (https://docs.qoder.com/en/cli/user-guide/command#quick-start):

In Headless mode: Prompt-type commands (/init, /review, /quest) can be executed in Headless mode

Quest should plan and execute non-interactively, return JSON, and exit.

Actual

Quest activates, produces a plan, then asks:

Please respond with a number (1-3) or any form of agreement (e.g., "yes", "go", "proceed") to start implementation.

Process exits with "subtype":"success" and "done":true but zero files were created. The confirmation can't be answered since -p only provides one turn of input. --yolo doesn't help either — the confirmation is in Quest's prompt logic, not a system permission.

Current workaround

Plain -p with a detailed prompt (no /quest) executes directly. Works, but loses Quest's subagent orchestration.

Suggestion

• Auto-approve when running headless (detect -p and skip the confirmation), or
• Add a flag like --auto-approve to bypass it

Thanks!
