I mostly agree with what you said (the diff being we've still done the "pretty" output and progress bars for the human-centric outputs). And I found it a fun exercise as trawling through the log output of the LLM tests to see why things were slow at times felt like watching a bunch of usability tests. Various approaches to solve problems that seem obvious in hindsight but not at all paths we'd optimised for. If you've ever done usability testing on something you've built you probably have a sense for what I'm talking about.

And yes, one of the outcomes of this was also ditching the human output for something more dense and LLM friendly.
