Research direction

Start by reading the AssertionChecker and tracing where its diagnostic items are written. Define the expected colorized output and the flag that disables it; done means diagnostics use color escape sequences when enabled and remain uncolored when disabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We have this really nice diagnostic tooling in the AssertionChecker, but writing the diagnostic items should use some fancy escape characters to color code the output (but we also probably should allow that to be disabled via a flag, too).
