Description

Hi!

I ran Jackalope, and the number of crashes I see on the screen doesn't seem to match the number of files in the crashes folder. For example, in my last run, it said Crashes: 24 (5 unique), but the crashes folder had 16 files, all marked flaky, and some of them identical to others (why does it output the same file several times?).

Is this correct behavior?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing a Jackalope run and comparing the displayed crash count and unique count with the files in the crashes folder. Investigate why flaky results can produce duplicate files, then establish whether the observed counts are expected or indicate a counting or output bug.
