    Fix CLI model response display issues

    Developer Experience

    Users are experiencing problems with model responses in the CLI where outputs are either unexpected or garbled/incomprehensible, making them difficult to interpret. This degrades the CLI experience and undermines trust in the tool's reliability. Users need clear, accurate, and readable responses from model queries in the command-line interface.
