Research direction
Start with the CppWinRTVerbosity handling and the code that emits the "Processing WinMD ..." message; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Reproduce the build in a C++/WinRT WinUI3 project, then verify that low verbosity suppresses this message while the existing verbosity behavior remains intact.

Description
Version
2.0.250303.1
Summary
I tried to set CppWinRTVerbosity in vcxproj to low, but it is still printing the not-very-meaningful "Processing WinMD ..." message. Which already overwhelms my CI output for a moderately-sized project. Please consider NOT printing that message when CppWinRTVerbosity is low.
Reproducible example
Just create a C++WinRT WinUI3 project and build
