Description
Currently, nested cogs can end up having really long names, causing them to take a lot of terminal space.
Example:
The goal is to reduce the length of displayed names to allow for better readability and cleaner output.
This is especially important as #876 and #877 will make the prefix appear before every line of a cog's output, so reducing the length of the prefix will allow for more information per line.

Research direction
The issue names no file or test. Start by tracing where nested cog names and output prefixes are assembled, using the example image and the prefix behavior described for #876 and #877 as references. Done means displayed nested prefixes are shorter and the terminal output is easier to read.
