Write cp, mv and rm with the command prefix - #78

Conversation
Admins often alias cp, mv and rm to -i. Without a TTY the prompt reads EOF: mv -i fails and costs a roundtrip, rm -i keeps the file and exits 0, which reads as success. A stateless command prefix beats tracking aliases in server memory, which would go stale whenever the dotfiles change. An AI agent wrote this text in my name. I know that is problematic.

command cp,command mvandcommand rm, so an-ialias can't prompt. I chose this over tracking aliases in server memory because nothing has to stay in sync when dotfiles change.Tested without a TTY (stdin at EOF): GNU
mv -i/cp -iexit 1 and leave the file alone.rm -i(GNU and BSD) and BSDmv -iskip silently and exit 0.commandbypasses an alias and a function in bash and zsh. New guard tests confirm the prefix doesn't hide a taboo (837 passed).An AI agent wrote this text in my name. I know that is problematic.
