Description

After `workshop init dev --sdks hermes-agent --base ubuntu@26.04`, I did

```
$ # 09:57
$ workshop launch
[Significant time spent on on `Run hook "setup-project" for "hermes-agent" SDK`]
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run hook "check-health" for "hermes-agent" SDK (SDK "hermes-agent" is not healthy after multiple checks)
"dev" launch aborted
$ # 10:03
```

During the whole process, it was unclear to me how many more steps were remaining, how much time was left, or if the tool was progressing at all.

But `workshop` _does_ know at least the number of steps. If one runs with `--verbose`,

```
$ workshop launch --verbose
...
(6/16) Start "dev" workshop
...
(14/20) Setup "system" SDK profile
...
(17/20) Run hook "setup-project" for "hermes-agent" SDK
...
```

Research direction

Start at the `workshop launch` entry point and trace how the default output differs from `--verbose`, especially the numbered step messages shown in the issue. Check how progress is reported during SDK setup and hooks. Done should make the default launch output indicate progress and remaining work clearly without requiring `--verbose`.
