## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Document colored output expectations and add/adjust tests to cover colorization/suppression behaviors for logs and errors.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [x] #1 README/spec describe colored log and error output behavior and any non-TTY suppression.
- [x] #2 Tests validate colored output behavior or explicitly assert no ANSI codes in non-TTY output.
<!-- AC:END -->

## Final Summary

<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
Updated README/spec to document colored logs/errors and relied on existing unit tests in log/exec modules that verify ANSI and no-color outputs via termcolor buffers.
<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:END -->
