Research direction

Read the formatter definitions in pkg/console/console.go:203-213 and inspect the listed call sites in pkg/cli/run_interactive.go, pkg/cli/project_command.go, and pkg/cli/upgrade_command.go. Remove redundant prefixes from the formatter inputs, then add a small regression test or lint check. Done when the affected messages no longer duplicate icons or labels and the check catches such prefixes.

Description

Terminal Stylist (discussion #66520) found several call sites that embed a redundant semantic prefix/label inside a message already passed to a formatter that adds its own icon. Live-verified: pkg/cli/run_interactive.go:101 calls console.FormatSuccessMessage("✓ Workflow dispatched successfully!"), but FormatSuccessMessage (pkg/console/console.go:203-213) already prepends "✓ " via styles.Success — producing a doubled checkmark. Similarly pkg/cli/upgrade_command.go:330 embeds the literal text "Warning:" inside a FormatWarningMessage(...) call, which already prepends "⚠ ".

Expected Impact

Removes visually doubled icons/labels in CLI output (small polish, but easy to regress without a guard).

Suggested Fix
  1. Fix the identified sites: pkg/cli/run_interactive.go:101, pkg/cli/project_command.go:166, pkg/cli/upgrade_command.go:280, pkg/cli/upgrade_command.go:330 — pass plain message content and let the formatter own the icon/label.
  2. Add a small test or lint check (e.g. grep for Format(Success|Warning)Message\("[✓⚠] or literal "Warning:"/"Error:" prefixes passed into formatters that already add one) to catch regressions.
Suggested Agent

An agent familiar with pkg/console formatters and pkg/cli call sites.

Estimated Effort

Quick (< 1 hour).
