Description

Hi, I tried trustee sweep --verify for the first time today. Thanks for this tool!
It ran for several hours, printing intermediate versions of the result table to the terminal. But when it finished, it cleared the terminal and the result table was zapped. :-(
I guess the terminal magic is (on macOS) buggy or just very brittle when you resize the terminal.
Anyhow, I guess it makes sense to write these precious results also to a log file. There is only so much CO2 we can spend on wasted computations...

Research direction

Start by running trustee sweep --verify and tracing the terminal output handling. The issue's requested outcome is for the final results table to survive terminal clearing and also be written to a log file, but it does not name files, tests, or a log format.
