Not sure if this is a bug or user-error. But the exceptions that guardrails throw with ANSI color sequences do not render well in CIDER nor Portal (screenshots in thread)
CIDER
Portal
Notably the value that is tapped (when :tap>? is true in the guardrails config) renders just fine in Portal because the colors are stripped:
I prefer using GR with :throw? because it gets my attention. But I never look at stdout/stderr for my REPl process, I only look at Portal or the exception/inspect buffers CIDER throws up at me.

Well, that does indeed look like warmed up dog poop. Off the top of my head I don't remember colorizing anything, but we do manipulate the exceptions to try to make things look nicer, which I think we're using a library for, which in turn would be what is adding the color. Seems like they should just be an option to turn that off
The codepath for tap> calls strip-colors https://github.com/fulcrologic/guardrails/blob/main/src/main/com/fulcrologic/guardrails/core.cljc#L132-L138
Maybe there could just be an option to always strip colors?

would gladly accept an MR to add a :guardrails/colors? option to the config
Great! I'll work on one and send it Monday/Tuesday.
