Description

A general mechanism to do this needs to provided and its complexity may go beyond what can be easily conveyed via a command line flag. This may lead to additional (custom) "configuration" items (i.e., custom.json) and allow per-command, per-column formatting as an abstraction.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing list subcommands to understand current output formatting. Identify where column width is fixed. Design a configuration structure (e.g., custom.json) that allows per command, per column truncation settings. Implement parsing and application of these settings in the relevant output functions.
