  - Suggests using "Edit target" option to fix incomplete configs
  - Uses process substitution to avoid variable scoping issues
  - Clears variables between iterations to prevent data carryover
- **CRITICAL**: SSL fingerprint prompt no longer causes authentication timeout
  - Script now automatically accepts SSL fingerprints by piping 'y' to login
  - This was the root cause of "authentication hanging" issues
- **CRITICAL**: Password/token capture no longer includes newline character
  - `prompt_password()` function now outputs formatting to stderr
  - Added defensive newline stripping when writing config file
  - Filters `\n` and `\r` characters from passwords using `tr -d '\n\r'`

- Connection test now differentiates between network issues and authentication failures
- Shows actual PBS client error messages when authentication fails
- Authentication test now uses correct `login` command instead of non-existent `status` command
- Connection test no longer times out due to using wrong PBS client commands
- **Backup progress logs now display properly during manual backup runs**
  - Fixed journalctl following wrong service (was following pbs-backup.service instead of pbs-backup-manual.service)
  - Removed stderr suppression (2>/dev/null) that was hiding output
  - Added --since flag to capture logs from service start, not just new entries
  - Now shows verbose progress: "processed 65.6 GiB in 18m, uploaded 64.4 GiB"
