bug: false-positive warning for secret input

[andreihh]

Describe the bug

There are 3 supported input providers:

• native vim.ui.input
• https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim (archived, should only be provided for backwards compatibility)
• https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim

When inputting a secret (e.g., API key) with the native provider, a warning message is issued.

However, vim.ui.select is automatically set to snacks.input, and snacks.nvim must be loaded eagerly.

This means that adding an explicit dependency on snacks.nvim and setting the input.provider to snacks is not necessary, the native vim.ui.select is already using snacks.input, and the warning is a false-positive.

To reproduce

Start avante.nvim (e.g., with :AvanteChat) without setting any API keys in the environment to prompt inputting a key explicitly.

Expected behavior

Proposal: offer an input.silent option to suppress warnings.

Installation method

Use lazy.nvim:

{
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  opts = {},
  build = "make",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
  },
}

Environment

Neovim version: v0.11.2 OS: Ubuntu 25.04

Repro

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

require("lazy.minit").repro({
  spec = {
    {
      "yetone/avante.nvim",
      event = "VeryLazy",
      opts = {},
      build = "make",
      dependencies = {
        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
        "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
      },
    },
    {
      "folke/snacks.nvim",
      priority = 1000,
      lazy = false,
      opts = {
        input = {}, -- Automatically enabled and registered as `vim.ui.select`
      }
    }
  },
})
