Recovered 70 prior commits from Gitea mirror and resolved divergent history using --allow-unrelated-histories. Integrated 16 recent local commits via patch. Applied targeted technical fixes: added explicit bash shell declaration in shellcheck YAML configuration (commit 693caff) and targeted SC2120 disables in modules/utils.sh (commit 3614b56). All verifications passed: shellcheck compliance, bash syntax check (bash -n), and BATS test suite passing cleanly. Symmetrically synchronized repository state across GitHub and Gitea.

With no flags the script runs interactively. Three flags change that (full table in the [README](../README.md#command-line-usage)):
```bash
./debianito.sh --yes # auto-confirm prompts; menus still display
./debianito.sh --yes --allow-destructive # also unblock branch migration
./debianito.sh --help # show usage and exit
```
`--yes` auto-confirms prompts, but the menus still display and still need arrow keys and ENTER. By itself it does not reach branch migration (menu `4 [ADVANCED] Upgrade system branch`): that operation can leave the system unbootable, so the script reports that `--allow-destructive` is required. `DEBIANITO_PROFILE=1 ./debianito.sh` stamps each boot step to stderr with a timestamp, which makes before/after comparisons possible. An unknown option exits with status 2.
Package installs are batched behind a single confirmation: the script lists what it is about to install (the first 15 package names, plus a count of the rest) and asks you to proceed. With `--yes` these confirmations are accepted automatically.
