Description

It'd be great to do light color/bold formatting of output. e.g.

  • Clearly mark faults in tasks output
  • Bold the running task like top tends to
  • Highlight errors in diagnose
  • Potentially, use bold to make the most commonly useful parts of stacktraces hop out

Research direction

Start by locating the terminal output paths for tasks, top, diagnose, and stacktraces. Review how these commands currently report faults, running tasks, errors, and stack traces, then define consistent light color and bold formatting for the most useful parts. Done means the affected output is more readable without changing its content.
