fix(prompts): arrow-key navigation no longer duplicates selection options

[bhagyamudgal]

Choosing from an interactive list (the editor picker in open, the worktree picker, the setup prompts) left stale rows on screen as soon as you moved with the arrow keys, so options appeared two or three times and it was unclear what was selected. I traced it to the select renderer in @clack/prompts 0.x, which upstream fixed in 1.x with no backport planned, and upgraded the dependency to 1.7.0 with the small type adaptation its narrower validate signature required.

What changed

• Interactive lists re-render cleanly while navigating with the arrow keys, one row per option
• The setup text prompts keep the same validation behavior under the new library types
• Added a patch changeset so the release notes pick the fix up

How to verify

• bun run typecheck, bun run lint, and bun run format:check all pass; bun test reports 96 pass, 0 fail
• Drove the editor picker in a PTY with DOWN, DOWN, ENTER at 30 and 100 columns: 0.9.1 left a stale duplicate row on the final screen, 1.7.0 shows each option once and returns the highlighted choice
• CI runs this same lint, format, typecheck, and test suite against this PR

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Interactive selection lists no longer duplicate options when navigating with arrow keys.
  • Setup prompts now handle empty or unexpected input safely without throwing errors.
• Chores
  • Updated the interactive prompt experience to a newer version for improved reliability.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change upgrades @clack/prompts to 1.7.0, adds a patch changeset, and prevents setup prompt validators from throwing when they receive nullish values.

Changes

Setup prompt updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prompt dependency and release declaration .changeset/tidy-pandas-repeat.md, package.json	The project upgrades @clack/prompts from ^0.9 to ^1.7.0 and declares a patch release for the duplicated-option fix.
Setup prompt validation guards src/commands/setup.ts	The base-branch and worktree-directory validators coalesce nullish input to an empty string before trimming.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 378ab

This updates interactive prompts to prevent duplicated list options and makes setup validation tolerate nullish values without changing required-field or directory validation behavior. The change is ready to merge.

Poem

A rabbit hops through prompts so bright
Arrow keys now keep lists just right
Nullish values meet an empty string
Safe validators make ears sing
A patch release follows in flight
