Summary
This PR fixes the live display formatting issues on macOS's stock Terminal.app for the
subnets list --liveandstake list --livecommands.Problem
The
--liveflag forbtcli subnets listandbtcli stake listcommands uses Rich'sLivecomponent withscreen=True, which enables alternate screen buffer mode. However, macOS's native Terminal.app has known compatibility issues with alternate screen buffer rendering, causing visual corruption and misaligned output.More capable terminals like iTerm2 handle this correctly, but users on the stock Terminal.app experience broken formatting.
