BUG: cli_parse does not honor ttp_results.results: flat_list correctly - output remains double-wrapped #402
Description
SUMMARY
Despite configuring cli_parse as documented to use TTP's results: flat_list format, the output remains wrapped in an extra list. This adds unnecessary complexity accessing the results and deviates from expected behavior.
NOTE: I could not get any of the results filters to impact the output json,csv,flat_list,raw,per_input etc, so it may not be strictly related to flat_list.
Comment on the issue if you need more information, happy to assist!
