Update terminal output and add limiting factor to adaptive output

[wilfonba]

Contribution Policy

We do not accept pull requests generated primarily by AI without genuine understanding or real-world usage context.

All contributions are expected to demonstrate:

• A clear understanding of the codebase
• Alignment with product direction
• Thoughtful reasoning behind changes
• Evidence of real-world usage or hands-on experience with the problem

If these expectations are not met, we would prefer to implement the changes ourselves rather than spend time reviewing low-effort submissions.

Acknowledgement

• I confirm this PR meets the above expectations and reflects my own understanding and real-world context.

Pull request overview

Warning

Copilot couldn't run its full agentic review because it didn't start before the timeout. Make sure your repository has a runner available, or add a copilot-code-review.yml file specifying one with the runs-on attribute. See the docs for more details.

This PR refines simulation runtime terminal output formatting and adds visibility into which CFL criterion (inviscid/viscous/capillary) is limiting the adaptive time step.

Changes:

• Track per-criterion CFL candidate time steps and select the global limiting criterion.
• Add an MPI helper to allreduce elementwise minima for small real vectors.
• Update printed progress lines to be shorter and (for adaptive CFL) include the limiting criterion tag.
