### Pending
- [ ] **Add progress indicators** (1 hour)
- [ ] Add progress bars to scripts
- [ ] Show current step in multi-step processes
- [x] **Add --dry-run flag** (2 hours) — **Script added**
- [x] Example pattern in `scripts/utils/dry-run-example.sh` (use `DRY_RUN=1` or `--dry-run`)
- [x] Integrated: `scripts/validation/validate-config-files.sh [--dry-run]`, `scripts/deployment/deploy-transaction-mirror-chain138.sh [--dry-run]`; others in scripts/ already support --dry-run (see scripts/README.md).
