Subject: [PATCH] fix(tasks): bypass Invoke PTY for interactive superuser/flush
 commands (#12078) (#12106)

* fix(tasks): bypass Invoke PTY for interactive superuser/flush commands

Docker TTY sessions could drop the first keypress and stall at the username prompt when using invoke superuser (and interactive flush).

Run these interactive management commands via direct subprocess stdio instead of Invoke PTY mediation.

Refs #11751.

* chore: remove changelog entry per review

(cherry picked from commit 245ead26bca80f76fdf32c2cbac93f9bfc779207)
