💡 What: Replaced hardcoded space padding in dynamic CLI text lines with the
\033[KANSI escape sequence (Erase in Line).🎯 Why: When replacing text "in-place" using carriage returns (
\r), using a standard number of trailing spaces to overwrite prior longer text strings is brittle and can lead to trailing text artifacts or misaligned outputs. The\033[Ksequence is universally supported, cleaner, and strictly clears everything to the end of the line.📸 Before/After: Lines like
std::cout << "\rStarting in " << i << "... " << std::flush;now readstd::cout << "\r\033[KStarting in " << i << "... " << std::flush;removing the need for\rGO! \n.♿ Accessibility: Makes terminal output visually cleaner, improving the developer/user experience.
