Description
$ echo "x" | ./ui_copy
$ The authenticity of host 'chillersdevice.local ([::1]:39321)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:NffXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Host key verification failed.
But the input is already cancelled so typing in yes only calls the yes tool:
$ echo "x" | ./ui_copy

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with echo "x" | ./ui_copy and trace how the unknown-host prompt and cancelled input are handled. Done means the host-fingerprint prompt no longer consumes subsequent input as repeated yes responses, with the corrected behavior verified using this command.
