Hi Bun team! πŸ‘‹

First of all, I just want to say a huge thank you for all your amazing work on Bun. It's truly an incredible project β€” the performance, developer experience, and the attention to detail are simply outstanding. ❀️

I have a very small suggestion regarding the CLI output during bun install.
Currently, the progress is displayed like this:

package-name [10/500]

Because Bun installs packages so quickly (which is awesome!), the package names and the progress numbers change very rapidly. This makes it a bit difficult to quickly catch how far along the install is at a glance, since the movement in the CLI is mostly happening around the package name first.

Suggestion:
Would it be possible to swap the order, so the progress numbers come first, like this?

[10/500] package-name

This way, the number would stay in a fixed position, and it would be much easier to track the installation progress visually, even when packages are flying by.

Again, this is a tiny thing, but I believe it would make the experience even more polished. Thanks a lot for considering it, and thank you once again for making Bun such an amazing tool! πŸš€
