📚 Description

When better-sqlite3 is missing, ensurePackageInstalled asks consola to prompt for confirmation. On a CI runner there is no TTY, so instead of the message telling you to install the package, the build dies with TTY initialization failed: uv_tty_init returned EINVAL. The prompt is now skipped when hasTTY is false or isCI is set, which falls through to the existing "please install it manually" error.

The peerOptional range for better-sqlite3 also stayed on ^12.5.0, so installing v13 to work around the crash gave an ERESOLVE error on npm. It now accepts v13 as well.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The better-sqlite3 peer dependency now accepts versions 12 and 13. Package installation prompts run only in interactive, non-CI environments. Non-interactive and CI execution uses the existing manual-install error path. Unit tests cover all three environment conditions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0143e

The change prevents an install prompt from failing in non-interactive environments and accepts the supported dependency version range; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

ensurePackageInstalled to cover the non-interactive branches independently: add
separate cases for hasTTY false and isCI true, plus an interactive non-CI case
asserting logger.prompt is called. Avoid combining both flags in a single
fixture so each condition is validated separately.
