Subject: [PATCH] Remove non-TTY static spinner fallback

Delete the stderr TTY check and the static spinner printf/early return in msg_info. The function now always calls color_spinner and starts the animated spinner in the background, removing the special-case for piped/non-TTY environments and simplifying terminal handling.
