Thanks for the detailed report!

The problem is that we are not handling the cases where we prompt the user for input, but there is no terminal connected to stdin.

Most users invoke melos version and melos publish manually, but we should support running those commands in CI or programmatically.

thanks @blaugold I'll try it out :)
