Ah, the timing might explain the results discrepancy I will check.

Generally, it's nice to have a traffic-light-plus-message pattern.
Traffic lights are easy to scan and to parse (red/amber/green). Messages
tell humans how to feel about that.

So for scripts/tests, it makes sense that their output is:

 * a traffic light
 * a message
 * optionally, logs
