Description
Recently Buildkite added a "failing" status, which lets the UI turn red before the tests have all finished running.
https://buildkite.com/changelog/160-failing-builds-fast
This would be great for all Bazel runs under Buildkite. Sadly this currently requires some realtime BEP parsing, and FWICT in this repo the bep_file JSON is only read after the build completes?

Research direction
Start by tracing where Bazel's bep_file JSON is read and whether that happens only after the build completes. Then investigate the realtime BEP parsing needed for Buildkite's failing status; done means Bazel runs under Buildkite can turn red before all tests finish.
