Description

Hi,

I think this will be super helpful when managing resources. The default output tends to be really huge depending on the number of resources dangling. This potential feature would add a final report at the end of the system prune command making it easier to read and interpret.

Research direction

Start by locating the Go implementation of the system prune command and its current output handling, then run the command to understand the existing report. The change is complete when the final output summarizes the total objects deleted for each resource type without removing the existing details; the issue names no files or tests, so those will need to be found first.
