Description
noticed this difference between the old cli and the new one. using the `--raw` flag works as expected.
`influx query -c tools "buckets()"`
new cli:
```
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi-test xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 172800000000000
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_curated xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_http_api_... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_v1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx temp_slo_testing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2592000000000000
```
old cli:
```
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi-test xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 172800000000000
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_curated xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_http_api_clean xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx abcdefghi_v1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx temp_slo_testing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2592000000000000
```
I'm not sure if this is something to address tbh. i'm just highlighting this as a difference, and it might be good to understand how to customize the column width.

Research direction
Start with the `influx query -c tools "buckets()"` output path and compare its default rendering with the existing `--raw` behavior. Determine whether long bucket names should remain untruncated or whether column width should be configurable; done means the intended behavior is resolved and reflected in the query output.
