Description
Product or component
Hex CLI
Problem statement
For a sufficiently big project, "Unchanged" dependencies list can get so long that you need to scroll multiple screens up just to see what actually was changed.
Proposed solution
It would be better to compact the "Unchanged" list (make it comma-separated, for example) or to hide completely.
Why is this useful?
I don't think the "unchanged" list is so important that it needs to take the majority of screen space when all you did was adding a couple of packages.
We already know what we have, so we don't need to be reminded about it when updating packages.

Research direction
Start with the Hex CLI mix deps.get output and locate where the "Unchanged" dependency list is rendered. Compare the current output for a sufficiently large project, then choose and document the compact or hidden presentation. Done means changed dependencies remain easy to review without the unchanged list taking multiple screens.
