Description

When running a large number of tasks, an error on a specific task can be hard to trace to the exact task which caused the error.

We should more carefully manage the output when an error happens to ensure there is a proper report summary at the end as to which task failed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a large task run with one failing task and trace how Chomp reports errors and finishes its output. Done means the final report identifies the failed task and retains enough of the original error to show its cause.
