🐛 Describe the bug

When I run validate 4.0.4 on the terminal using the -r report option, while the tool is processing it produces lots of new line characters on STDOUT. When I run validate 3.7.1 I do not get this result.

It appears to do this for nearly each label processed.

🕵️ Expected behavior

I do not expect new line characters to be outputted during processing. Previously we might get a series of periods as the tool progressed, sometimes, (though when a period would appears isn't clear to me).

📜 To Reproduce

  1. validate a collection or bundle utilizing the -r report option, but there needs to be at least several labels to be processed. The -R rule does not appear to make a difference. Ex: validate -t [directory] -r validate_report.txt
