Description
It'd be neat if progress bars didn't turn into a Christmas tree in the logs. If it returns to the start of the line, it should just overwrite the last log line.
Inspired by @zeke's comment about progress being shown on models.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing where progress output is handled and how TTY control characters reach logs; verify the behavior with a progress-bar example. Done means carriage returns overwrite the current log line instead of producing a multi-line “Christmas tree”.
