Description

From what it looks like in the source, the output of the command is only rendered to terminal after it is completely finished.
I'd like to use this package for running commands that have multiple steps and could take 30s+.
With no output to verify that the command is indeed running, it has a negative effect on developer experience.
Would you consider streaming the stdout or adding an option for this?
Thanks for the project!

Research direction

The issue identifies the command output path in the source but names no file or test. Trace how command stdout and stderr are currently collected and rendered, then decide the intended streaming behavior or option semantics. Done means long-running, multi-step commands visibly emit output before completion, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
