PipelineX v2.4.1 - Simulation UX & Output Polish

PipelineX v2.4.1 - Simulation UX & Output Polish

Small but practical release focused on developer ergonomics when running large simulations and parsing CLI output.

---

✨ What's New

1. Better simulate CLI Ergonomics

• New --top-jobs <N> flag to keep text output concise for large pipelines.
• New --no-progress flag for cleaner CI logs.

2. Long-Run Progress Feedback

• For long simulations in interactive terminals, PipelineX now renders progress and total execution time.

3. Stronger JSON Guidance

• Text output now clearly points to --format json for full machine-readable details (especially on large tables/findings).

Compliance Policies

• Configurable rules from .pipelinex/policy.toml
• Rules: SHA pinning, banned runners, required caching, max duration, concurrency control
