Research direction

Start by locating make-surface's current output path and the command-line option handling. Check how existing surface output is formatted, then define text and CSV output that can be consumed by Postgres. Done means both formats are selectable and produce usable output, with coverage for the new behavior if tests exist.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Having make-surface output to text or CSV format would be a boon for working in Postgres.
