fix(cli): suppress browser popup during auth via OPENSHELL_NO_BROWSER env var#419
Conversation
… env var The browser_auth_flow opens the system browser even when stdin is piped/closed (e.g. in e2e tests), because read_line on a null stdin returns immediately and execution continues to open_browser(). Add OPENSHELL_NO_BROWSER=1 environment variable support that skips both the stdin prompt and the browser open call. The auth URL is still printed to stderr so users in headless environments can authenticate manually. Set the env var in the e2e test helpers to prevent browser popups when running tests locally.
