Description

This will help integration tests that have no output while the spinner is spinning.

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI spinner and its no-TTY output handling, then review the integration tests that run without a TTY. Determine an interval-based progress message that keeps producing information while the operation is idle; done means those tests receive periodic output instead of only a spinner.
