…flags Add machine-readable JSON output for turbo run via two new CLI flags: - --json: Stream NDJSON to stdout (disables TUI, forces stream mode) - --log-file [path]: Write structured JSON array to a file Also supported via TURBO_LOG_FILE environment variable. Includes documentation in the run command reference and system environment variables pages, marked as experimental.

Summary
--jsonflag to stream NDJSON to stdout and--log-file [path]flag to write structured JSON logs to a file, both behind an experimental markerTURBO_LOG_FILEenvironment variable as an alternative to the CLI flaglogFilefromturbo.json— structured logging is a per-invocation concern better suited to CLI flags and env vars than checked-in configHow to test
Each JSON entry has
timestamp,source,level, andtextfields. ANSI escape sequences are stripped in file output.
