nanoprogress (Rust Progress Bars)

Apply these conventions when using nanoprogress in Rust CLI applications.

Package Fit

• Use nanoprogress for one simple determinate progress bar with zero runtime dependencies.
• Prefer heavier crates such as indicatif or kdam when you need multi-bars, spinners, templates, ETA/rate estimation, redraw throttling, or rich terminal layout.
• Keep progress output out of machine-readable stdout. For CLIs that emit JSON/CSV/data on stdout, send the bar to stderr with .writer(Box::new(std::io::stderr())).
• nanoprogress is currently a small standard-library-only crate; do not add terminal/color dependencies around it unless the product requirement exceeds what it provides.
