Description
Summary of the new feature
When a script is running, if it emits Progress stream output, that output should be tied to the withProgress API to show a toast of the scripts progress.
Low priority now that psreadline progress works fairly normally, this would be a "good first issue" or "nice to have" level item.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the VS Code progress-sample and the withProgress API, then trace how script Progress stream output is handled in this extension. Check the prior discussion in issue #140 for context; done means Progress output during a running script appears as a script-progress toast.
