fix(prompts): make destructive confirms one keystrokeHEADmain
I had to kill an Emacs session today over a prompt I could not answer. A second agent session held the selected window while "Overwrite hiroshi.m3u? (yes or no)" waited in another frame, so my keystrokes went to a terminal and the minibuffer stayed empty. Losing unsaved buffers is a far worse outcome than a mis-keyed confirm. So cj/confirm-strong becomes cj/confirm-destructive, and instead of binding use-short-answers to nil for a typed "yes" it reads a single y or n. Two things I kept: - No default. Only y and n answer, so a stray RET or space re-prompts rather than confirming a shutdown. - Pending input is discarded before the read. Without that the change would have been a bad trade: read-char-choice reads the input queue, so a key typed before the prompt painted would confirm instantly, where the old typed-"yes" absorbed it harmlessly. Worth being honest about what this does not fix. One keystroke does not make a prompt reachable when focus is elsewhere, and C-g is still the escape. It lowers the cost of the situation rather than preventing it. Six call sites: shutdown and reboot, shred, playlist overwrite and delete, and the two file overwrites.

- Security & privacy: no credentials. The only outbound data is the search query and a User-Agent to a public API. No sensitive data logged.
- Observability: the command messages the server used, the result count, and each file written. Search is one short synchronous call; if it ever feels slow, a "Searching radio-browser…" message covers it.
- Performance & scale: result sets bounded by an explicit limit (default ~30). One GET per search. No scaling concern.
