- How do you guys manage AUR compilation?

Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"
Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :)

Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt
I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way.

AUR helper
pikaur is a pretty great tool.

I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin
Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated.
- Yay or Paru!!??

Thought Experiment: Building and Running AUR Packages in Containers
My personal AUR helper builds AUR packages in an nspawn container. Thinking about scripting the automation of running them in dedicated nspawn container as well.

Recommended AUR Helper
I ended up writing my own AUR helper that sets up aurutils inside an nspawn container. It does prompt for inspecting and/or modifying git cloned files before building. However, it omits other typical AUR helper features like building/updating multiple packages at once. On the other hand, it transparently manages required gpg keys and AUR dependencies. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch

Pacman Virtual Environment v0.1
I did it using a systemd nspawn container. I made my AUR helper as both an interesting scripting project and a proof of concept for myself. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch
