There are the `--verbose` and `--summary all` flags as mentioned in this post: [Zig's New CLI Progress Bar Explained - #23 by andrewrk](https://ziggit.dev/t/zigs-new-cli-progress-bar-explained/4499/23).

as i mentioned, i’m using `zig build-exe` – **NOT** `zig build`…

i don’t see support for `--verbose` or `--summary all` with this particular command…

FWIW, i’m running 0.13.0…
