I think getting rid of the separate "print failures" CI step and making it more discoverable how to reveal the details of failing test step is a usability improvement.

I am not Ævar, but I think what was questioned was the improvement justifies multi dozens of seconds extra waiting time, which is a usability dis-improvement. I do not have a good answer to that question.

I am probably nearing to be a veteran who knows when to brew my tea in my work cycle, and waiting for an extra minute or two while browsing CI output is not a problem for me.

But new "non-veteran" users may not share that. That is something a bit worrying about the new UI.

Thanks.
