Just to be clear - in my case, I do get shown the EULA by Discover in a popup
dialog, and I click to accept it. It's just that this acceptance does not seem
to be taken into account / forwarded to the appropriate component, and the
updates do not install.
If I get it right, what is needed is to fix how Discover communicates to Zypper
"the user did accepted the license", which is not necessarily the same as
"always answer yes for licenses", as the latter probably would preclude the
eula being shown at all? (and I'd rather be asked and have to accept manually
rather than blanket-accepting anything)

I never heard of those - are they daemon-style services or GUI apps?

OT opinion: as a complete newcomer to Suse and KDE, I found the KDE system
settings apps mostly a breeze to use, but have been quite baffled by the
apparent redundancy and overlap between the two (or more) "system management
layers". It seems that YaST does duplicates a lot of the System Settings
functionality, and there is no clear distinction of when to use one vs the
other. In fact, in some cases, functionality is available on both sides, but
only one side works (f.e. after install I could not manage to get new
locales/translations set up via KDE, but I could via YaST...).
This is of course not an ideal situation - and funnily similar to the "control
panel" experience in Windows ;-)
I know that Suse has now deprecated YaST in favour of Cokpit, so going forward
there is probably going to be a lot of churn (with KDE having to remove all its
integrations with YaST) to still end up with two separate management systems
:-(
Looking at the issue tracker for Discover, I realised how complicated its job
is - having to deal with multiple sources/types of installation packages
(flatpack vs. native) but also multiple backends (dnf vs. apt vs. zypper).
I don't have any specific suggestions for how to improve that, but it does seem
that the developers have set themselves up for a very complicated task. I
wonder if focusing on perfect integration on a single distro would be a more
fruitful approach...
