The red ✘ uninstalled marker reads as an error, but in some places uninstalled is the norm rather than a problem: - tap-info: every uninstalled formula/cask in the tap catalog - brew info <pkg>: deps and requirements when the package itself is not installed (the listing just shows what would be pulled in) Add a 'mark_uninstalled:' parameter to 'pretty_install_status' that, when false, returns the plain string instead of the red ✘. Pass it through 'decorate_dependencies'/'decorate_requirements' in both 'cmd/info' and 'cask/info', and use it unconditionally in 'tap-info'. Keep the marker where missing really signals a problem: info headers, deps/requirements of an installed package, and update reports for removed entries.

Aligns uninstalled formulae with how
brew searchworks.brew tap-info: Uninstalled formulae won't be bolded and not have the red X.brew info: A non-installed dependency is not a problem before the formula itself is installed so won't show the red X. When the formula is installed, then a missing dep is a problem, so that should be highlighted with bold and a red X.brew lgtm(style, typechecking and tests) with your changes locally?Claud Code, Extra High
