We tried something like this. Minimal was still confusing a non-trivial percentage of the time. Testing locally it was around 0.9%, but in production under docker where execution is constrained to a single core, it seemed to happen much more often.

It is really confusing to the user to have the prompt in the middle of their output.

Interesting. I guess the specific issue with the prompt could be fixed by always printing data from the stderr pipe first, but then you probably get incorrect ordering in other cases...
