Description
The Terminal Stylist audit for 2026-04-30 found 139 source files using raw fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr) or fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr) instead of the project's console.Format* / console.Render* helpers. Of the 137 files that correctly use the console helpers, the pattern is well-established. The 139 raw-fmt files bypass Lipgloss styling, TTY detection, and consistent formatting, resulting in inconsistent output behavior across the CLI.
This batch migration is well-suited for an automated agent: search for fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr and fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr across pkg/, replace with the appropriate console.Format* / console.Render* equivalents, and verify tests pass.
Expected Impact
Consistent CLI output across all commands, proper TTY detection for styling, and alignment with the project's established console abstraction. Reduces future maintenance burden by eliminating two code paths for the same operation.
Suggested Agent
Code Simplifier or Refactoring Cadence agent.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1–4 hours): search-and-replace across 139 files with verification.
