Pull request overview
Fixes an interactive installer regression where ui_choose (and other bash fallback menus) printed prompt/menu text to stdout, corrupting command substitution results when invoked via bash <(curl ...).
Changes:
- Redirect bash fallback prompt/menu output for
ui_chooseto stderr so stdout contains only the selected value. - Redirect bash fallback prompt/menu output for
ui_multi_selectto stderr so stdout contains only the selected values. - Redirect bash fallback prompt/menu output for
select_componentsto stderr while preserving stdout for the final selection list.

When invoked via
bash <(curl ...), selecting an OS would immediately print "Installation cancelled" becauseui_chooseechoed the prompt string to stdout, polluting the command substitution result.Changes
scripts/lib/gum-wrapper.sh— In all three bash fallback paths (ui_choose,ui_multi_select,select_components), redirect all prompt/menu display lines to stderr (>&2) so command substitution captures only the user's selection, not the surrounding UI text.💬 We'd love your input!
