Description
### Description of the feature request:
Bazel sets $TEST_WARNINGS_OUTPUT_FILE to a writable file path.
Tests may choose to write warnings to this file, but currently bazel doesn't do anything useful with those warnings.
Please consider emitting some form of summary to the console, such as "such and such tests have such and such warnings"
### Which category does this issue belong to?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing Bazel's test execution and console-reporting paths for TEST_WARNINGS_OUTPUT_FILE. Determine how warning files are produced and where test results are summarized. Done means warnings are surfaced in the console with a useful test-specific summary without treating them as failures.
