We have marked this as feature request to automatically detect user is expecting user prompt and disable playbook-artifact creation in stdout mode.

For now as a work around please follow the steps here https://ansible-navigator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq/#why-does-the-playbook-hang-when-vars-prompt-or-pause-prompt-is-used to disable the playbook-artifact creation.

As for me, it's still the same as this issue. I am using ansible-navigator 24.2.0 with docker. However, everything works if I use ansible all -m command -a "id" --ask-become-pass but not with ansible-navigator run update.yml --ask-become-pass -m stdout. Surprisingly, it works with ansible-navigator run update.yml --become-password-file=secret -m stdout too. I am using Ansible Core 2.16.4.
