Description

Currently files which fail flac -t tests return the same error code: 1.

This arises from issue #192 in which MD5 warnings cannot be differentiated from other failures, subsequently making automation difficult.

Research direction

Start by tracing the flac -t command's failure handling and review issue #192 for the existing MD5-warning behavior. Done means automation can distinguish MD5 warnings from other test failures through separate, documented exit codes.
