When InnoDB recovery fails, instead of just asking 'Press Enter',
now shows clear action menu:
[0] Return to menu
[1] Retry with recovery mode 1
[2] Retry with recovery mode 2
... (modes 3-6)
[A] Auto-escalate to next mode
User can immediately select action without confusing prompts.
If user selects specific mode, retries immediately with that mode
(skips auto-escalation).
Implementation:
- show_recovery_options() now prompts for action
- Returns 0 = retry with selected mode
- Returns 1 = return to menu
- step5_create_dump handles return codes:
- 0 = success
- 1 = failure, return to menu
- 2 = failure, user selected mode, retry immediately
- Menu loop checks return code 2 and continues without auto-escalation
Benefits:
✓ Clear options - user knows what will happen
✓ No confusing 'Press Enter to continue' prompts
✓ Immediate retry with user-selected mode
✓ Better control over recovery process
✓ Fixes the 'type 4' confusion from previous run
Severity: UX Improvement
Impact: Much better user experience during recovery
