Research direction

The affected entry point is the jffs2reset command. Reproduce the interactive shell and direct-ssh invocations shown in the issue, then trace how the command reads input and emits its prompt in each mode. Done means direct SSH displays the confirmation prompt and handles the response consistently with an interactive invocation.
