Description

This is a feature request:

All docker scout commands that are generating output, such as docker scout repo list should be able to display the output in JSON.

Something like:

docker scout repo list --format json

and the extra text such as the What's next message in the example below, should not be included in the JSON.

So just show what is needed, so in this case, the repo name and whether its enabled/disabled.

Research direction

Start with the docker scout repo list command and inspect how its current output is assembled and how command-wide formatting is handled. Check the other output-generating Docker Scout commands to determine the shared scope; done means --format json emits only the requested data, without extra messages such as “What's next”.
