Unfortunately, a native progress bar isn't possible because Gradle doesn't expose task status in real-time. A practical alternative: numerical stages or a step-by-step log. If I wanted a real progress bar, I'd have to create a custom wrapper that tracks each task, but that's quite complex and bug-prone, so I'm sticking with the stable approach. I'll be testing version 1.3 first, as I need feedback for 1.2. If the 1.2 update is less buggy, I'll try using a progress bar.
