Applying a company import from a non-interactive terminal…

Error message

Applying a company import from a non-interactive terminal requires --yes. Use --dry-run first to inspect the preview.

What it means

resolveCompanyImportApplyConfirmationMode needs a TTY to prompt for confirmation before applying an import; in a non-interactive terminal without --yes it aborts rather than apply unconfirmed.

Solutions

1. Run interactively to confirm, or pass --yes (after a --dry-run preview) in non-interactive environments.
