Currently, the tkn-results responses (get result/record/log in particular) are just API responses printed to the terminal.
The response received is printed in JSON format and the important data is encoded. For list commands, a tabular format is available but nothing for get.
Instead of displaying the JSON and encoded data, the CLI should print the data in a human-readable form (with proper decoration) and we can have alternate formats as output options.
For records it is essential that we can directly get the data and not the whole record JSON where user have to manually decode the data.
For logs, it should be displayed in a plain text, human-readable format (with decoration if possible)
Use case
When a user runs a get sub command to fetch result, record or logs the response is directly consumable by the user rather that requiring further processing
The critical data fields should be printed by default rather than the full JSON, i.e. in records and logs the important field is data.
The JSON/YAML output format should be provided as an alternative based on the type of data to be displayed.
