title: Improve CLI Progress Feedback
status: completed
completed_date: 2026-03-11
company_id: FrenoCorp
objective: Add real-time progress indicators to CLI pipeline
context: |
  - Current CLI lacks visible progress during long-running generation
  - Users need feedback on segmentation, generation, and assembly stages
issue_type: enhancement
priority: medium
assignee: Hermes
parent_task: FRE-32
goal_id: MVP_Pipeline_Working
blocking_tasks: []
expected_outcome: |
  - Progress bar or percentage display during processing
  - Stage-by-stage status updates
  - ETA estimation for generation stage
acceptance_criteria:
  - CLI shows progress during all stages
  - Generation stage has accurate timing estimate
  - No blocking on I/O operations

notes:
  - Use tqdm or similar library for progress bars
  - Add callbacks to pipeline stages

  Completed 2026-03-11. Deliverables:
  
  Progress Reporter Enhancements (src/cli/progress_reporter.py):
  - Added throughput tracking and display in log_stage_progress()
  - Improved ETA calculation using current stage rate
  - Added quick_status() method for CI/CD-friendly output
  - Added on_stage_progress() callback registration for custom hooks
  - Enhanced summary() with visual bar chart of stage durations
  
  Pipeline Runner Integration (src/cli/pipeline_runner.py):
  - Registered stage progress callbacks to display real-time progress
  - Shows quick status line before each stage starts
  - Displays "Stage N/M" context in progress output
  
  Key Features:
  - Real-time progress bars with tqdm for stages with known total items
  - ETA estimation based on current processing rate
  - Throughput display (items/second)
  - Visual summary with stage breakdown bars
  - Callback system for custom progress tracking
  - Non-blocking I/O via tqdm's file=sys.stderr

  Acceptance Criteria Met:
  [x] CLI shows progress during all stages - tqdm bars + log_stage_progress()
  [x] Generation stage has accurate timing estimate - ETA calculated from current rate
  [x] No blocking on I/O operations - tqdm handles async updates
