Description
Ofborg already reports the list of packages to rebuild; sometimes it would be nice to also see the number of tests that would need to be re-run after a change (for example, to check a claim that a NixOS change doesn't change any hashes)

Research direction
Start by tracing Ofborg's existing report of packages to rebuild and identify how affected tests are determined after a NixOS change. Define how the test count should be exposed alongside the package list, including the hash-checking use case, and verify the result against representative changes.
