npm create astro --yes should skip all questions

Astro Info

N/A, this happens during install using the `npm create astro` helper. It's the "v3.0.13 launch sequence."

If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

The --yes option doesn't seem to skip all questions as the help string suggests. You can get by this by specifying a template but I believe --yes should use the recommended template and not prompt the user. As a new user it's unclear to me what templates would be equivalent to the options below (perhaps the template name should be in that output?).

$ npm create astro newdir -- --skip-houston --yes

      ◼  dir Using newdir as project directory

Looking at the code, --yes does behave as expected.

[totalhack]

So to be clear, you expect that --yes will still ask you to confirm a template if you haven't specified one on the command line? That seems like it falls short of how similar flags are used by other tools.

I guess since it displays Include sample files (recommended), it should choose that option when running --yes

[lilnasy]

--yes is working as intended, all the yes-or-no questions are skipped. The part that doesn't get skipped is template selection, which is not a yes or no question. You can explicitly add a template to skip that part as well, for example --template blog.
