 - Do not start the runner before the watcher, because the watcher helper clears stale `/tmp/<build-name>.log` and can delete the fresh live runner log if the runner starts first.

+- For any failed ATVM host, recover failure detail in this order when available: consolidated run log, `mochawesome`, structured reporter artifacts (`json`/`xml`), then text reporter artifacts.
+- Keep the `HOSTS` detail column compact with the failing step plus a short error summary, and put the longer trimmed failure excerpt in `NOTES:`.
 - When reporting `TEST FLOW:` for an ATVM run, prefer the numbered steps extracted from the generated spec for that exact run.
 - If the generated spec exists, do not rely on a static template flow list for `TEST FLOW:`.
 - Only fall back to template-level or static flow definitions when the generated spec cannot be located or parsed.

+## Run Learning: 2026-03-30 (Event-log reporter JSON must not be ignored in non-categorized fallback)
+- Observed failure mode:
+  - A failed non-categorized run still posted/saved host detail as only `1 failures` even though the per-host reporter artifacts preserved the failing step.
+  - The per-host `.json` artifact used an event-log format with `metadata` plus `tests`, but no top-level `stats` block.
+  - The watcher ignored that JSON format, fell back to the `.txt`, and lost structured test counts/detail.
+- Action for future runs:
+  - Support the event-log JSON format directly when parsing per-host reporter artifacts.
+  - In non-categorized fallback, prefer the structured `.json` artifact over the matching `.txt` when they belong to the same run timestamp.
+  - Recover at least the failing testcase name and a nonzero test count from those artifacts even when the consolidated run log is missing.
+
+## Run Learning: 2026-03-30 (Use `mochawesome` as the rich fallback for host failure detail)
+- Observed failure mode:
+  - The full UI-visible Cypress error text for a failed ATVM host run existed in `cypress/cmcReporter/mochawesome/*.html`, but the lower-fidelity host-level `.json` and `.txt` reporter artifacts only preserved the failing step boundary.
+  - That made the host detail fall back to a thin summary even though a richer error payload was available on the controller.
+- Action for future runs:
+  - When the consolidated run log is missing, use `mochawesome` as the rich fallback source for per-host failure text before settling for lower-fidelity reporter artifacts.
+  - Keep the `HOSTS` table compact by showing the failing step plus a short error summary.
+  - Put the longer trimmed failure excerpt in `NOTES:` instead of dumping the full raw stack trace into the host-detail column.
+
+## Run Learning: 2026-03-30 (Apply rich failed-host detail recovery to every ATVM template)
+- Observed operator requirement:
+  - The same failed-host recovery and formatting rules should apply across all ATVM template runs, not only reboot scenarios.
+  - If any ATVM test template fails, the result should still recover the best available failure detail and present it consistently.
+- Action for future runs:
+  - Use the same failure-detail recovery order for every ATVM template: consolidated run log, `mochawesome`, structured reporter artifacts, then text reporter artifacts.
+  - Keep failed-host `Detail` compact and put the longer trimmed excerpt in `NOTES:` for every template type.
