Okay, fair enough. I'm still of the opinion that the infra here should
be shared.

Well, we could print the output to the console so that a user can see it
when they open the failed job. The nice formatting may be kind of moot,
but on the other hand it doesn't hurt, either. I guess most people are
used to reading plain markdown-style docs anyway.
