Description
With Poetry 2.1, any output made to stdout in the execution of the tool.poetry.build.script is not outputted to the terminal. This seems to be on purpose because as an error occurs, the output is fully displayed. However, there is no documentation on it, neither on this being intentional nor on how to forward an output directly.
Using the obvious verbose or debug flags (v/vv/vvv) does not change anything.
Documentation or even a hint on how to enable output to stdout would be highly appreciated

Research direction
Start with the linked building extension modules documentation page and review how tool.poetry.build.script behavior is described. Document whether stdout suppression during builds is intentional and explain how users can forward output directly; the page is done when it answers both questions without relying on verbose or debug flags.
