Description

When something fails in the integration tests, the message at the end tells us which tests failed, but the actual failure details are buried in a huge heap of log spew.

It would be super helpful to hide this spew by default. Obviously in some cases the logs will be useful for tracking down an error. But the thing that should pop out is what was the assertion that failed and that doesn't happen at the moment.

Research direction

Start by locating the integration-test failure reporting and the final summary that lists failed tests. Determine where log output is collected and presented, then make assertion failures prominent while keeping the detailed logs hidden by default with a way to access them. Done means a failing assertion is immediately visible without the surrounding log spew.
