Replaces fatih/color with charmbracelet/lipgloss for colored output. Lipgloss is more capable and more widely used, it integrates with the BubbleTea UIs we already use, and it doesn't rely on mutable global state like
color.NoColor.Color handling now lives in the output streams rather than in individual commands. The root command wraps stdout and stderr in writers that strip or downsample ANSI sequences to suit the terminal, so commands render styles unconditionally, and
--color=false(orcolor: falsein the config) turns color off for both streams in one place.This also fixes some color bugs.
fatih/coloronly checks whether stdout is a terminal, and the per-command overrides that worked around this for stderr also ignored the user's environment (NO_COLOR,TERM=dumb) and could leak escape codes into redirected output. Now each stream checks its own terminal, and the user's environment is respected, includingNO_COLOR,CLICOLOR_FORCE, andTERM=dumb.tiger db psqlhands psql the underlying file descriptors, so psql still sees a real terminal. Output sticks to the base ANSI colors, which follow the user's terminal theme.
