simplewallet: fix prompt formatting
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny cosmetic fix in Monero's command-line wallet. It removes a stray colon and space from a prompt asking the user whether to enable background mining. The change does not affect security, user funds, cryptography, network behavior, or how user input is interpreted.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal UI/string cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit changes one string in src/simplewallet/simplewallet.cpp, from input_line(tr(“Do you want to do it now? (Y/Yes/N/No): “)) to input_line(tr(“Do you want to do it now? (Y/Yes/N/No)”)). The input_line helper already appends its own prompt suffix, so the old string had a redundant colon/space. The resulting accepted value and the is_yes() check are unchanged.
