Summary
When generating static reports (HTML/JSON/CSV via --with-output-resolver), GoAccess reverse-resolves the hostname for every visitor IP. On large logs this can take a while, and previously there was no feedback — the parsing spinner finished, then the process just appeared to hang while DNS lookups happened silently.
This PR adds a second, determinate progress phase to the existing spinner: after parsing completes, hostname resolution now shows Resolving hostnames X/Y (Z pending) so users can see it's actively working and roughly how far along it is.
Screen recording of it switching over from processing 70 million logs to resolving the hostnames:
