Research direction

Investigate the existing reporter implementations in the Bootlint codebase to understand the current output format. Look at other linting tools like ESLint or Stylelint for examples of pluggable reporter interfaces. Consider creating a Reporter interface or abstract class that reporters must implement, and then modify the CLI to accept a reporter option. Check the issue comments for any prior discussion or requirements.
