Descripción

## Background
For Version 0.1.0 InDev of Tessitura, we need to implement a clear and visually effective terminal output format for displaying directory structures. The visual representation should make it easy for users to understand directory hierarchies and relationships at a glance.

## Description
Design and implement a terminal output format that clearly displays directory structures with proper indentation, visual hierarchy indicators, and optional metadata. The format should be readable, accessible, and should effectively communicate the structure of even complex directory hierarchies.

## Requirements
- Create a terminal output format that:
- Clearly distinguishes between files and directories
- Shows parent-child relationships through indentation
- Includes visual indicators of hierarchy (tree branches, etc.)
- Displays relevant metadata in an organized manner
- Supports different levels of detail (minimal, standard, verbose)
- Implement configurable options for:
- Output width constraints
- Inclusion/exclusion of metadata
- Color coding (if supported by terminal)
- Sorting options (by name, size, type, etc.)
- Ensure readability for:
- Deep directory structures
- Long file names
- Special characters in file names
- Large directory listings

## Technical Notes
- Consider using Unicode box-drawing characters for tree structure
- Implement ANSI color codes with fallbacks for terminals without color support
- Create a modular design that separates data structure from rendering
- Consider pagination or truncation for very large outputs
- Implement clean alignment of metadata columns
- Test output on different terminal sizes and configurations
- Consider implementing multiple output styles (tree view, list view, etc.)

## Acceptance Criteria
- Directory structure is displayed with clear visual hierarchy
- Files and directories are visually distinguishable
- Indentation consistently represents parent-child relationships
- Output handles edge cases (empty directories, very long paths, etc.)
- Display adapts to different terminal widths
- Metadata is aligned and readable
- Output is visually appealing and professional
- Performance remains acceptable for large directory structures
- Unit tests verify correct rendering of various directory structures

## Estimated Effort
Medium (2-3 days)
