Research direction

Start by inspecting the GitHub Actions workflow for the Windows CI and how it runs the C++ test suite. Reproduce or review the case where tests fail while the workflow succeeds, then verify that any failing test causes the Windows job and overall workflow to fail.

Description

While I was working on updating the Windows CI, I noticed that some tests were failing, but the test suite -- and the GitHub Actions workflow as a whole -- succeeded anyway. We should probably change that.
