In Adobe Commerce, when developing custom console commands, you can customize output messages by using special tags provided by Symfony Console, which Adobe Commerce relies on. These tags are designed to help differentiate types of messages and can be used to add color or emphasis to the output, enhancing visibility.

For critical error messages, wrapping the message in the tag will display it in red, as shown in your screenshot. The available tags include:

for red-colored error messages.

for informational messages (often displayed in blue).

for comments or warnings (usually yellow).

$output->writeln('A critical error has occurred.');

This method is effective and widely used for output customization in Symfony-based console commands.
