Fix hyperlink ANSI escape codes appearing in non-terminal output

[Copilot]

Fix ASCII escape codes in URLs when running in non-terminal environments (GitHub Actions)

Changes

• Analyze the issue and codebase
• Modify output.WithHyperlink() to check terminal state and return raw URLs when not in a terminal
• Modify ux.Hyperlink() to check terminal state and return raw URLs when not in a terminal
• Create new internal/terminal package with IsTerminal() function
• Update all callers to use the centralized terminal detection logic
• Remove wrapper function in input.IsTerminal() - callers now use terminal.IsTerminal() directly
• Simplify non-terminal output to return only URL (ignore text parameter)
• Revert unrelated changes in extensions folder
• Test the changes with unit tests
• Build and verify the changes work correctly
• Run linters and tests
• Address all code review feedback

Technical Details

The issue occurs in two functions that generate ANSI hyperlink escape codes:

1. cli/azd/pkg/output/colors.go - WithHyperlink() function
2. cli/azd/pkg/ux/ux.go - Hyperlink() function

Both functions unconditionally generate ANSI escape codes like \033]8;;URL\007TEXT\033]8;;\007 which appear as raw escape sequences in GitHub Actions logs.

Solution Implemented

Created a new lower-level package cli/azd/internal/terminal that contains the IsTerminal() function with all the terminal detection logic:

• Checks AZD_FORCE_TTY environment variable for user override
• Detects CI environments via resource.IsRunningOnCI() and forces non-TTY mode
• Uses isatty.IsTerminal() for both stdout and stdin as fallback

Non-terminal output simplified: When not in a terminal, both hyperlink functions now return just the raw URL, ignoring the text parameter. This matches the expected behavior shown in the issue screenshots.

Updated all callers:

• cmd/container.go - Updated to call terminal.IsTerminal() directly
• pkg/input/console.go - Removed wrapper function, callers now use terminal.IsTerminal() directly
• pkg/output/colors.go - Updated WithHyperlink() to return only URL in non-terminal mode
• pkg/ux/ux.go - Updated Hyperlink() to return only URL in non-terminal mode

This eliminates code duplication and provides a single source of truth for terminal detection across the codebase.

Files Modified

1. cli/azd/internal/terminal/terminal.go: Centralized IsTerminal() function
2. cli/azd/cmd/container.go: Updated to use terminal.IsTerminal() directly
3. cli/azd/pkg/input/console.go: Removed IsTerminal() wrapper function
4. cli/azd/pkg/output/colors.go: Simplified non-terminal output to return only URL
5. cli/azd/pkg/output/colors_test.go: Updated test expectations
6. cli/azd/pkg/ux/ux.go: Simplified non-terminal output to return only URL
7. cli/azd/pkg/ux/ux_test.go: Updated test expectations
8. cli/azd/.vscode/cspell.yaml: Added "surveyterm" to dictionary

Testing

• ✅ All unit tests pass
• ✅ Build succeeds
• ✅ Linting passes
• ✅ Project package tests pass
• ✅ No circular dependencies

Expected Output

Before (with escape codes in GitHub Actions):

- Endpoint: 8;;https://ca-dyfj7t2wpgpp2.calmpond-0ace7c7d.westus.azurecontainerapps.io/https://ca-dyfj7t2wpgpp2.calmpond-0ace7c7d.westus.azurecontainerapps.io/8;;

After (clean URL in GitHub Actions):

- Endpoint: https://ca-dyfj7t2wpgpp2.calmpond-0ace7c7d.westus.azurecontainerapps.io/

<agent_instructions>When IsTerminal() returns false we should return raw URLs instead of hyperlinked encoded URLs.

This check should hopefully be able to happen inside the helper function that writes the hyperlink so that all usage is automatically addressed.</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@wbreza When the `azd` `IsTerminal()` returns false we need to fallback to print out raw URLs without hyperlink encoding.

Looks good, but requires a couple updates.
