fix(reporter): don't print all dots in one line#31
Conversation
CI systems like GitHub Actions only print a line when a newline character is printed. Add a newline character after each 100 dots to flush output mid-test. Also, fix the lockfile (without it, CI doesn't pass). Fixes jquerygh-30

Pull request overview
Improves the test runner’s progress reporter output so CI logs flush periodically during long pass-only runs, and updates package-lock.json so dependency installation succeeds in CI.
Changes:
- Add a dot writer helper that inserts a newline after every 100 passed tests to encourage CI log flushing.
- Regenerate/fix
package-lock.jsonentries (including updating@simple-libs/stream-utilsto1.2.0and removing variouspeermarkers).

currDots is module-global state but it’s never reset when non-dot output is printed (e.g., failing tests call console.log("\n\n..." ), and callers like run.js also print blank lines/warnings). This can desync the dot counter from the actual line state and lead to extra/blank newlines being inserted by writeDot() (e.g., after exactly 100 dots and then a failure message). Consider resetting currDots = 0 whenever the reporter emits non-dot output (before console.log/console.error in this module), or exposing a small reset helper that call sites can use before printing their own output.

I didn't want to complicate other logging, so this is a tradeoff I made on purpose. We'd have to create a wrapper logging function & use it instead of console. Doable, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

It could perhaps reset the counter on reportEnd or reportError.

That won't cover all cases, like QUnit printing to the console, but these two are common enough that maybe we could handle them.

Added. Not the greatest improvement if you ask me as we still get shorter lines after all these "Chrome acknowledged" etc. messages, but these two were in the same file, so it was trivial to add.
