Description

When running rtk gradle, the filtered output includes extra blank lines:

  1. Leading blank lines at the start of output
  2. Extra newline when stderr is empty (stdout + '\n' + empty stderr)

Expected: Clean output without leading/trailing blank lines. Actual: Extra blank lines appear in filtered output.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the filtering logic for gradle output in the rtk codebase, focusing on how newlines are managed when stderr is empty, and trace the output pipeline to eliminate extra blank lines.
