Description
I know I can provide a failCmd, and I'll do that, but it seems to me the default failure output could be improved. It prints the stdout stringified, which is an assault on the eyes...
Aside from that it's not 100% straightforward how to deal with quoting in making a failCmd that will print the output as-is.

Research direction
Start by locating the default failure-output formatting and the failCmd handling in semantic-release/exec, then reproduce a failed command whose stdout contains multiline text and ANSI escape sequences. Done means the default output is readable and the issue's quoting concern is addressed without requiring a custom failCmd.
