When running via `curl | bash`, stdin is not a tty, so interactive prompts block forever. Detect non-interactive mode and skip optional prompts (like bash-completion) with sensible defaults. Changes: - Add INTERACTIVE flag based on tty detection - Skip bash-completion prompt in non-interactive mode Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Problem
When running:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbailey/metool/master/install.sh | bashThe installer blocks at the bash-completion prompt because stdin is not a tty.
Solution
Detect non-interactive mode at script start:
Then skip optional prompts when non-interactive, using sensible defaults (skip bash-completion since it's optional).
Testing
Tested on macOS Tahoe (arm64) fresh VM with:
curl -sSL ... | bash- now proceeds without blocking./install.sh(interactive) - still prompts as expected🤖 Generated with Claude Code
