Description

Clients are expected to listen to events and do their own logging, but it would be helpful to optionally write this to the console when the CLI is used.

Research direction
The issue requests a new CLI switch for optional console logging of events. First, review how the current CLI parses arguments (likely in the main script) and how events are emitted. Then, add a flag (e.g., verbose) that enables event listeners to log events to stdout. Check the repository's existing tests and documentation for similar patterns.
