Crate nils_term 

Small terminal utilities shared across the workspace.

Progress

nils-term provides a minimal, RAII-friendly progress abstraction that is safe for machine-readable stdout output.

• Progress is drawn to stderr by default.
• With ProgressEnabled::Auto (default), progress is enabled only when stderr is a TTY.

Determinate progress

use nils_term::progress::{Progress, ProgressOptions};

let total = 3_u64;
let progress = Progress::new(total, ProgressOptions::default().with_prefix("work "));

for i in 0..total {
    progress.set_message(format!("item {i}"));
    progress.inc(1);
}

progress.finish();

Spinner progress

use nils_term::progress::{Progress, ProgressFinish, ProgressOptions};

let spinner = Progress::spinner(
    ProgressOptions::default()
        .with_prefix("fetch ")
        .with_finish(ProgressFinish::Clear),
);

spinner.set_message("loading");
spinner.tick();
spinner.finish_and_clear();

Library guidance

Prefer accepting a Progress (or ProgressOptions) from the caller instead of reading env vars inside library code. This keeps libraries deterministic and lets binaries decide whether to show progress (e.g. interactive vs CI).
