Ditch colors, use chalk?

Given what happened in: https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/3951

And it seems the author is unrepentant, we should probably move to chalk or some other lib.

Interesting... iterm2 on Mac automatically identifies links. I wonder if we should leave link handling to the terminal itself?

Actually, iterm2 identifies "URLs"... being able to create hyperlinks with just test is pretty neat tho. I'd not seen that before.

I wonder if we would use that though.

I found it relevant for showing xref links at least. They're hard to read and clutter terminal. For docs links, maybe not.

But now the primary user of CLI is likely not a terminal, maybe leave it as it is.

True, it’s mostly CI.
