When --format json (or any non-default format) is used, result.Message was unconditionally printed to stdout before the JSON output, making the combined stdout invalid JSON. Mirror the existing warnings pattern: for non-default formats send the message to stderr so stdout remains pure JSON; for the default format the behaviour is unchanged. Fixes #70
