 ## 2025-02-28 - Structured CLI Reports
 **Learning:** Dense numerical data in CLI output is hard to parse. Using ASCII box-drawing characters and alignment to create a "dashboard" or "invoice" style summary significantly improves readability and perceived quality.
 **Action:** When summarizing simulation or batch job results, always format the final report as a structured table or box rather than a list of print statements.
-## 2024-05-20 - Dynamic Progress Bar for Quiet CLI Tasks
-**Learning:** For long-running CLI processes that suppress verbose logging (e.g., `--quiet`), users lose system status visibility.
-**Action:** Implemented a dynamic progress bar using `\r` and `flush=True`, conditional on `sys.stdout.isatty()`, to provide status feedback without polluting non-interactive logs.

+## 2025-03-14 - Dynamic Progress Bars in Quiet CLI Modes
+**Learning:** For long-running CLI applications that support a `--quiet` flag (which normally suppresses verbose logging), providing a dynamic progress bar using `\r` and `flush=True` (conditional on `sys.stdout.isatty()`) offers a much better UX. It gives the user necessary status visibility during long executions without polluting non-interactive environments (like CI/CD) or file redirections.
+**Action:** Always consider replacing suppressed verbose output with a dynamic progress bar for long-running scripts when `--quiet` mode is active and the terminal is interactive.
