You canceled the prompt.

Error message

You canceled the prompt.

What it means

In the `domains` command, the interactive prompts (clack-style) are given an onCancel handler that prints this warning and exits the process with code 0 when the user aborts a prompt (Ctrl+C or Esc). It is a graceful, user-initiated cancellation message, not an unexpected failure.

Solutions

1. No fix needed — this is intentional exit; re-run the `domains` command when ready to complete the prompt.
2. If cancellations seem unintentional, check terminal keybindings for Esc/Ctrl+C remapping (tmux, IDE terminals).
3. Avoid pressing Esc; answer or Ctrl+C consciously knowing the command exits with code 0.

// Detect non-interactive terminals before prompting
if (!process.stdin.isTTY) {
  console.warn('No interactive terminal; pass flags instead of prompts');
  process.exit(1);
}

// clack prompts throw a symbol on cancel — handle it explicitly
const answer = await text({ message: 'Domain name' });
if (clack.isCancel(answer)) {
  console.warn('You canceled the prompt.');
  process.exit(0);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Pressing Ctrl+C or Esc while the domain selection/creation prompt in `domains` is displayed.

Common situations: User changes their mind mid-flow, opens the command by accident, or a terminal emulator maps Esc/Ctrl+C unexpectedly (e.g. inside tmux or an IDE terminal).
