Install and launch verified. The menu is interactive (inquirer + blessed) and needs a real TTY that answers terminal capability queries. With non-TTY stdin it prints the banner and 'Choose a category', then crashes with termios.error (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device') and exit 1. Under a pty (script) it blocks on blessed's terminal queries and never renders. The README documents no non-interactive operation.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: README 'Usage' -> `minipy` (probe argv <host-path>)

The documented command is an interactive TUI. In a non-TTY process it crashes with termios.error (exit 1) after printing the menu prompt; under a pty it waits on terminal capability queries and never renders.

Suggested next step (agent-reported): Run the minipy probe under a pseudo-terminal that answers terminal queries (or give the checker a pty option for kind cli stays_running), then expect 'Choose a category'. No source change is proposed: the repo behaves as its interactive design requires, and the README documents no non-interactive entry point.

What the agent did

Launch the minipy CLI menu (README 'Usage': `minipy`) and reach the 'Choose a category' menu; probe kind cli with stays_running.
