Description

`choco list` fails to respond for a long time, before suddenly emitting results. Please load the initial records faster and stream them to output, rather than waiting for the entire list to write.

Research direction

Start at the `choco list` command and inspect how it currently gathers and writes records. Confirm the delayed output behavior, then make initial records appear incrementally; done means results stream instead of waiting for the entire list.
