No intermediate progress output during long-running steps #25

Problem

During a step that ran for 241 seconds, there was zero output between [1/3] code-audit and the final failure message. For pipelines with tool-enabled steps that read dozens of files, this makes it impossible to know if the pipeline is progressing or stuck.

Current behavior

[1/3] code-audit                    # ← then silence for 4 minutes
  ✗ Step "code-audit" failed...

Suggested improvement

Stream intermediate progress from Claude's execution:

[1/3] code-audit
  → Reading app/src/lib/actions/auth.ts
  → Reading app/src/lib/actions/files.ts
  → Using Grep: "service_role"
  → Reading app/src/middleware.ts
  ...
  ✓ code-audit completed (241s, 45k tokens)

This could be done by parsing Claude CLI's stderr/stdout in real-time, or by using --verbose flag in the Claude CLI subprocess.

Impact

For pipelines expected to run 15-20 minutes, users have no way to distinguish "working" from "stuck" without this.
