🔍 How It Works
The extension monitors three sources for test failures:
- Task Runner — If a task containing "test", "jest", "pytest", "mocha", "karma", or "spec" exits with a non-zero code → 💥 FAAAH!
- Terminal Output — Scans for patterns like
3 tests failed, FAILED, ✕, 2 failing → 💥 FAAAH!
- VS Code Test API — Hooks into native test results → 💥 FAAAH!
