Using --show-summary with --verbosity

As of Liquibase Secure 6.0, running at the quiet verbosity tier suppresses the update summary entirely, whatever value you give --show-summary. This applies whether you set --quiet or --verbosity=quiet.

If you need the summary in a script that otherwise runs quietly, leave the verbosity at normal and reduce noise another way, for example with --log-level.
