What happened?

When installing conda, the following prompt is shown:

At the end, the question reads like there are two separate yes/no choices:

whether to initialize conda automatically, and

whether to run the reverse command.

This is misleading, since the only actual yes/no choice is whether to run conda init. Saying yes means auto-activation will be enabled on startup, but the wording makes it look like the “reverse” part is also part of the prompt. The default [no] adds to the impression that there are two options.
