Before, a progress bar could only be drawn as a pill or as percentage text. The shade style also carries an accessibility label that states the percentage, so tools such as screen readers can announce it.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a small change to how progress is displayed.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
