Description

The current behavior of --interactive is that any new stacks will get created, without any prompt. But this can be potentially dangerous (or at the very least, annoying) if you accidentally make a change, like changing the stack name, resulting in a whole new stack getting created.

Should stacker prompt you before creating a stack when using --interactive mode?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the interactive mode code to identify where new stacks are created, then add a confirmation prompt before creation.
