User Impact: Medium - Improves developer experience with better formatted status output and log visibility

💡 Implementation Strategy

Recommended Approach:

Table Standardization

- Implement expandable/collapsible log sections
- Add filtering options for log levels
Console Integration
- Leverage console.FormatListHeader() and console.FormatListItem()
- Use console.FormatInfoMessage() for status indicators
- Apply consistent styling patterns from existing commands

Code Locations to Modify:

pkg/cli/status.go - Main status command implementation
pkg/console/console.go - Table formatting utilities (if needed)
Status-related functions in CLI package

🧪 Testing Strategy

Test Scenarios:

Status output with no workflows
Status output with multiple workflows in different states
Status output with recent log activity
Table formatting with long workflow names
Table formatting in different terminal widths
