37 The following tests FAILED:
38 1 - notcurses-tester (Timeout)
39 Errors while running CTest
40 Output from these tests are in: /Users/runner/work/notcurses/notcurses/build/Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log
41 Use "--rerun-failed --output-on-failure" to re-run the failed cases verbosely.
42 make: *** [test] Error 8
43 Error: Process completed with exit code 2.
so there are two problems here: we ought rerun with --output-on-failure in the CI, to have more info on this kind of thing. two, we're seeing this timeout. i think i've seen it locally, too, though i thought it was one of the input test programs. maybe it's a general problem? either way, let's get this figured out.
