1122700 - Bootstrap asks for a password

TL;DR Running bootstrap.py ends with a request for a password. It is unclear what step is requesting this. Or why. Maybe we need to run steps with more verbosity so that we at least print the command being executed?

We are now installing all required packages via Homebrew. You will see a lot of

This Cask makes minor modifications to the JRE to prevent issues with
packaged applications, as discussed here:

If your Java application still asks for JRE installation, you might need
to reboot or logout/login.

Yep, this is known and we do message about it.  We could change the messaging, but we need PWs possibly 3 times I think and it's hard to know if/when the user will be queried.
