YuKu on the VM: menu installs were not quiet — the ONE place dnf's
full output still scrolled.
Root cause: the per-item install loop read picks with
'while read ... <<< "$sel"' — a herestring REPLACES stdin for its
whole body, so ui_quiet_run's tty gate saw 'piped' inside the loop
and every menu install ran in plain mode. Picks are now read into an
array first (herestring fills ONLY that); installs run in a for-loop
that never touches stdin.
Also silenced the remaining raw output in the menu path:
- Chrome repo wiring -> install_optional (quiet) + setopt silenced,
direct-rpm fallback via ui_quiet_run
- Brave addrepo -> ui_quiet_run
- flatpak installs -> ui_quiet_run; ui_quiet_run now also matches
flatpak's 'Installing...' progress (Unicode ellipsis) for the live
line and count, sanitized to printable ASCII (tr -cd) so a
non-UTF8 console never sees garbage bytes.
Pty-verified: live block lines + green summaries for chrome/gimp/
vscodium picks, flatpak progress only in the log, zero raw dnf or
flatpak text on screen.
