Pull request overview
This PR fixes an issue where interactive CLI elements fail to render properly when stdout is redirected. The fix changes the rich Console to use stderr instead of stdout, which is the standard practice for interactive terminal UI elements. Additionally, the PR ensures that all interactive prompt and select elements receive the console parameter so they consistently use stderr.
Key Changes
- Modified the global Console instance to output to stderr instead of stdout
- Added
console=consoleparameter toqprompt.Prompt,qselect.Selectinstances inprompt(),select(), andselect_multiple()functions

Currently, the output of rich console is set to stdout. This causes some issues when stdout is redirected.
To reproduce this issue, run the following code with
python test.py | grep 1, since all escape codes are sent to the redirection target (grep) instead of the user's terminal, nothing will be renderedThis pr add
stderr=Truefor rich.Console, and add the missingconsole=consoleforqselectandqprompt.
