Description

There's this idea of printing out progress to the user if a signal is sent to the running process (eg. with Ctrl+T on macOS or with kill -USR1 $PID on Linux)

For long-running elm-test instances, it might be nice to be able to get some progress info (eg. which tests are still running, how many fuzz iterations are left for each, how many failures has it already found, ...) mid-run.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the long-running elm-test execution path and existing command-line output, then investigate how process signals can be handled on Linux and macOS. Done means a running test process reports useful progress when the requested signal is sent.
