Description
Description
when ran with --progress=rawjson buildx/bake sends json events on stderr, which get mixed with warnings (fixed by https://github.com/docker/buildx/pull/2957) and errors, which can confuse a json parser used by consumer.
Would be nice there's an option to switch the json stream on stdout, maybe based on some env variable ?

Research direction
Start by tracing how buildx/bake handles --progress=rawjson and routes its JSON events, then inspect the existing separation from warnings mentioned in pull request #2957. The work is complete when a supported option, potentially an environment variable, keeps the JSON stream on stdout without errors contaminating it.
