Description
A few things that come to mind
- Show commands spawned by ncu
- Show HTTP request response, in particular responses that could not be parsed as JSON (e.g. when Jenkins authorization fails, it returns XML)
- Pipe stdout and stderr, also do not use spinners if verbosity is on in case the output is overwritten

Research direction
Start by tracing ncu's command spawning, HTTP response handling, and stdout/stderr or spinner output paths. Add a verbose option covering spawned commands, unparseable HTTP responses, and streamed output without spinners. Done means each requested detail is visible when verbosity is enabled.
