Research direction

Start by running test_check("extratests", reporter = "summary") and inspect the noisy output shown in the issue. Identify how package messages and repeated Gaussian process warnings appear during the test run; done means actual test failures are easy to spot without unrelated messages obscuring them.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

upkeep

The output for test failures is very noisy, making it hard to spot the actual failures amidst all the messages.
