50-52: LGTM! Consider a minor wording adjustment.The new tip effectively communicates how to enable color output, which aligns well with the PR objectives. The formatting is consistent with the document style.
Consider adjusting the wording slightly for clarity:
- > To enable color output in the workflow logs, set the environment variable `CPP_LINTER_COLOR` to a value of `on` or `true` or `1`. + > To enable color output in the workflow logs, set the environment variable `CPP_LINTER_COLOR` to `on`, `true`, or `1`.🧰 Tools

272-276: LGTM with a minor suggestion for clarityThe implementation for enabling colored log output on Unix systems looks good. It correctly checks for common "true" values and conditionally installs the additional requirements.
For improved clarity and maintainability, consider adding a comment explaining the purpose of this case statement. For example:
+ # Install color output requirements if enabled case "${{ env.CPP_LINTER_COLOR }}" in "true" | "on" | "1") pip install -r "$GITHUB_ACTION_PATH/color-requirements.txt" ;; esac

62-62: LGTM! Clear example of color output configuration.The addition of
CPP_LINTER_COLOR: onto the YAML example is consistent with the new tip and clearly demonstrates how to enable color output. The comment about the default setting off is helpful for users.
50-50: Ignore the static analysis hint about excessive exclamation marks.The static analysis tool has flagged excessive use of exclamation marks, but this appears to be a false positive. The changes we've reviewed and the surrounding context don't contain any exclamation marks. This hint can be safely ignored.

272-276: Summary: Colored log output implementation aligns with PR objectivesThe changes successfully implement the opt-in colored log output functionality as described in the PR objectives and issue #275. The implementation:
- Allows users to enable colored output by setting the
CPP_LINTER_COLORenvironment variable.- Conditionally installs the necessary requirements (
color-requirements.txt) when enabled.- Works for both Unix and Windows environments.
While the functionality is correct, there are opportunities for improvement in terms of consistency between Unix and Windows implementations and some minor clarity enhancements. These have been addressed in the previous comments.
Overall, this change enhances the cpp-linter action by providing users with the option for more readable, colored log output, which should improve the experience when searching for errors in the logs.
Also applies to: 316-320

50-54: LGTM! Consider a minor wording adjustment.The new tip effectively communicates how to enable color output in workflow logs, which aligns well with the PR objectives. The use of a blockquote with the "TIP" emoji enhances visibility and readability.
Consider slightly rewording the tip for clarity:
> [!TIP] - > To enable color output in the workflow logs, - > set the environment variable `CPP_LINTER_COLOR` to a - > value of `on`, `true`, or `1`. + > To enable color output in the workflow logs, + > set the environment variable `CPP_LINTER_COLOR` to + > `on`, `true`, or `1`.This minor adjustment removes the redundant "a value of" phrase, making the instruction more concise.

There seems to be some clashing of different loggers. Looking at the test results, The log grouping commands are not output when expected. raw logsnotice the should appear at the end of the sample. Instead, it appears in the middle of another log statement: |
resolves #275
use native shells' env var syntax
allows rich to force-enable coloring The env changes should only apply to the composite action's env

50-54: LGTM! Consider a minor clarification.The added tip about enabling color output is clear, concise, and relevant. It effectively communicates how to use the new feature.
Consider adding a brief mention of the default behavior for completeness:
> [!TIP] > To enable color output in the workflow logs, > set the environment variable `CPP_LINTER_COLOR` to a -value of `on`, `true`, or `1`. +value of `on`, `true`, or `1`. By default, color output is disabled.This addition would align with the information provided in the PR objectives and ensure users understand the default behavior without needing to infer it.

CPP_LINTER_COLORenvironment variable in the YAML example is correct and consistent with the earlier tip. The comment about the default behavior is helpful.For consistency with other comments in the YAML example, consider aligning the comment style:
