Visual Proof (screenshots, videos, text, etc)

Severity/Priority

low

Additional Context

Cursor also disappears until entire terminal is closed and reopened

I think this is more of a feature than a bug. We want to record all packages that have been deployed no matter if they have succeeded or not. Otherwise we would not be able to remove the packages after the cancelled attempt.

There is however merit in discussing if adding this as a feature to automatically remove packages if the process is cancelled. It does however come with a lot of caveats as to how to deal with version upgrades and so on.

Your cursor issue that you are seeing is a known issue that will hopefully be solved during our structured logging refactoring.

[Ansible-man]

Maybe the feature could add another collum to the output of zarf package list that shows the deployment status? We also have a use case to track the last patch date in a similar fashion but currently implementing a custom solution for that.

I think adding an additional column is a great idea, makes things more clear to the end user.
