Replace ConsoleUtility prompts with Spectre.Console (already a dependency) #353
Description
Tier 1 — Replace. src/Fallout.Build/Utilities/ConsoleUtility.cs (~143 LOC) hand-reimplements interactive prompts — PromptForInput(), PromptForChoice() (arrow-key selection), ReadSecret() — with raw console state management.
Replace with
Spectre.Console — already referenced in Directory.Packages.props (v0.49.1). Use TextPrompt, SelectionPrompt<T>, and secret-masked prompts.
Why this is the easiest win
Dependency already present, the code is internal, and ~80 LOC of manual console handling simply disappears with better cross-platform behaviour.
Non-breaking
Internal utility — swap implementation, keep callers working. Target 2026 directly.
Acceptance
-
PromptForInput/PromptForChoice/ReadSecretbacked by Spectre.Console - Manual
Consolecursor/key handling removed - Setup/secrets CLI flows (
Program.Setup.cs,Program.Secrets.cs) behave identically

Insights from a discarded prototype (old paths; map to onion structure after #359).
TextPrompt,SelectionPrompt<T>,.Secret(); keep the 3 public static signatures identical (non-breaking).Program.Setup/Program.Secrets) already uses its own private Spectre helpers and does NOT call ConsoleUtility. Real remaining callers:CredentialStore(ReadSecret) andDelegateRequirementService(PromptForInput/PromptForChoice).
