+// It prints one line per top-level test as it finishes, the captured output of
+// every failed test, the head of a package-level panic (which is where Go
+// reports "test timed out" and the list of still-running tests), and ends with
+// the per-package durations and the slowest tests. The exit code is always zero
+// unless the input cannot be read; the `go test` exit code is what CI should act
+// on, so run the two with `set -o pipefail`.

+//	go test -json ./... | go run ./tools/gotestsummary
