ct/happier.sh hangs for ~3 min with no output before the first TUI dialog

[karolzlot]

Summary

Followed https://docs.happier.dev/deployment/proxmox , the installer just sits there: no TUI, no output at all. Same on PVE 8.4 and 9.2.

It turned out it isn't hung. ct/happier.sh line 12, if [[ -z "${BUILD_FUNC//[[:space:]]/}" ]], takes ~150 s on the ~266 KB misc/build.func and prints nothing while it runs.

Fix, replace this:

if [[ -z "${BUILD_FUNC//[[:space:]]/}" ]]; then

with this (same check, much faster):

if [[ ! $BUILD_FUNC =~ [^[:space:]] ]]; then

misc/build.func:3947 has the same line on installer_script (~52 KB, ~5 s), may need this fix too.

As a workaround for now, users can run the installer with LC_ALL=C.

observing an apparent "hang" in the installer script, with this line
~/.local/bin/happier service list --json
probably the same issue.
