What
Asking for the interactive authoring interview when there is no real terminal attached now prints an explanation and exits 1, instead of trying to run the interview. The message tells you to either run it in a terminal or drop --interactive and pass a case name to get a blank template. There are two wordings depending on whether you supplied a case name.
Evidence
The authoring interview requires an interactive terminal (TTY). Run claude plugin eval init in a terminal, or drop --interactive and pass a case name (e.g. claude plugin eval init my-case) to write a blank template instead.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
