Console Output

Definitions

1. The text or data a program writes to a terminal or command-line session while running. Console output can be human-readable progress, machine-readable data, logs, errors, or interactive prompts depending on the tool's design.

   In plain English: What a program prints to the terminal while it runs.

   Example: "They changed the CLI's console output to structured JSON in non-interactive mode so other tools could pipe and parse it reliably."
