feat(cli): add progress spinner during instance creation#60
Merged
Conversation
Current behavior: When creating an instance for the first time, the CLI shows no output while images are pulled or devcontainers are built, making it appear frozen during long operations. New behavior: - Default mode: Shows a ticker-style spinner that displays the latest log line from docker/devcontainer CLI, updating in place without polluting the terminal buffer. - Verbose mode (-v): Streams full CLI output directly to stderr. The spinner uses charmbracelet/bubbletea with an io.Pipe to capture subprocess stderr and display progress in real-time. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
