Configure input cancelled

Error message

Configure input cancelled

What it means

When `agent-reach configure <key>` is run with no positional value and stdin is a TTY, the CLI prompts for the value with getpass (hidden input). EOF (Ctrl-D) or Ctrl-C at that prompt prints 'Configure input cancelled' to stderr and exits 1; nothing is written to the config.

Solutions

1. Simply re-run the command and paste the value at the prompt, then press Enter
2. Prefer non-interactive input for automation: agent-reach configure <key> --stdin < file
3. Note that hidden prompts show no typed characters by design — type the value blind and press Enter
4. Check your SSH/session health if EOFs happen spontaneously

# This exits the CLI process (SystemExit 1); handle it at the shell/orchestrator level:
#   agent-reach configure twitter-cookies || echo "cancelled or failed; nothing saved" >&2
# In expect-style automation, feed the prompt instead of letting it EOF:
import subprocess
r = subprocess.run(["agent-reach", "configure", "twitter-cookies"], input="<token> <ct0>\n", text=True)

When it happens

Trigger: Interactive `agent-reach configure twitter-cookies` followed by Ctrl-D or Ctrl-C at the 'Value for twitter-cookies:' prompt; also when a TTY-attached run is interrupted (e.g. user realizes they are in the wrong terminal).

Common situations: Users pressing Ctrl-C out of habit at hidden prompts (no feedback characters are shown); SSH sessions dropping mid-prompt producing EOF; running configure inside a wrapper that sends EOF.
