This is a small change that asks the user before the teardown command goes through in interactive shells, intended to help prevent situations where something is accidentally teardown from unintended inertia or when working with multiple clusters. A -f, --force flag is added to the teardown command to skip the prompt altogether.

Example output:

00:00 Using kubeconfig /home/mmoltras/.config/kube.yml
00:00 About to teardown Central, Secured Cluster, and Operator on kind-kind, continue? [y/N]
n
00:10 Aborting teardown

This change could also be expanded to skip the check on well known debug contexts like the teardown script from our workflow repo does, but I think I prefer it the way it is now: https://github.com/stackrox/workflow/blob/4e8520b1111738a47ddc7b0a2232a9e1eb4ebf1c/lib/common.sh#L134-L159

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Teardown now asks for confirmation before proceeding in interactive runs, helping prevent accidental removal of selected components.
    • Use the force option to skip the confirmation prompt. Non-interactive runs also continue without prompting.
    • If you decline, teardown is canceled. If confirmation input cannot be read, the error is reported and teardown does not proceed.

This is a small change that asks the user before the teardown command
goes through in interactive shells, intended to help prevent situations
where something is accidentally teardown from unintended inertia or when
working with multiple clusters.

📝 Walkthrough

The teardown command adds a force flag and prompts for confirmation before teardown when execution is interactive and force is disabled. The new helper accepts trimmed, case-insensitive “y” or “yes” responses.

Changes: Teardown confirmation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add and apply teardown confirmation
internal/helpers/helpers.go, cmd/teardown.go
WaitForConfirmation prints a prompt and reads one line from standard input. It returns true only for “y” or “yes”, ignoring case and surrounding whitespace. The teardown command adds -f/--force to skip the prompt. When confirmation is declined, it logs an abort and returns; confirmation errors are returned.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ab8d5

Interactive teardown now requires confirmation unless --force is used, and declining or failing to answer stops teardown. No concrete merge-blocking issue remains.

Review comments at @cmd/teardown.go:
- Line 60: Update the confirmation gate in the teardown flow to require both
stdin and stderr to be terminals, without relying on env.RunningInteractively,
which also checks stdout; bypass the prompt when stderr is redirected. Ensure
the confirmation prompt is written to stderr so stdout redirection does not
suppress an otherwise interactive confirmation.

Review comments at @internal/helpers/helpers.go:
- Around line 164-165: Update the confirmation prompt’s ReadString error
handling to return false, nil for io.EOF, treating terminal EOF as a declined
confirmation; preserve the existing error return for all other read errors.
