If Cygwin's setup requires input (for example, to select a mirror), with --quiet-mode hidden it simply terminates (there's no apparent exit status or message, though).
With --quiet-mode noinput, Cygwin setup sits at the appropriate dialog, but it's of course non-responsive. Would it be possible in these situations for Cygwin to abort, preferably with a non-zero exit code? The background to this was running Cygwin setup in GitHub Actions (so UI not visible), _without_ specifying --site, where the Cygwin installation had been restored by actions/cache but not the registry setting in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\setup meaning that setup could not find setup.rc and consequently determine the last-used mirror. The GUI therefore invisibly froze at mirror selection. That issue has obviously been fixed, but it would seem sensible that Cygwin's setup doesn't ever display a dialog _requiring_ input where all that input has been disabled!
