Feature Spec

Previously, build failures in GitHub are hidden amongst the rest of the output. This was due to Nx running things in parallel and not highlighting failures.

Now, build failures are printed last (or are at least much more visible) and added as a summary to the step itself so that you don't even really need to look at the full logs.

Use Cases

Improve developer feedback loop

Research direction

Start by locating the Nx build commands and GitHub Actions workflow steps that produce the build output. Compare how parallel failures are currently displayed with the requested behavior; done means failures are clearly visible at the end and summarized on the workflow step.
