Description

On Windows 11, running laravel new fails during the post-autoload scripts when artisan install:features is executed. The command triggers an interactive prompt, which causes the Composer script to fail with exit code 255.

Research direction
The issue is that the `install:features` command prompts interactively when run as a Composer script, causing failure on Windows. To fix, check the `InstallFeaturesCommand` class in `src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/` and ensure it respects ` no interaction` or detects non TTY environments. Alternatively, the Composer script in `composer.json` could be modified to pass the ` no interaction` flag. Review similar fixes in the repository, such as commit history for other commands that were made non interactive.
