Maybe a simple compromise would be being able to setup a set of regexes
that search the output and set a flag it that string is found. If you
find the string, it gets marked with a flag, which means that when you
look at mongoose, any failures that don't have the flag become easier
to spot.

It also means that once you've found a common failure, you can create
the regex and then any other failures with the same string get tagged
also, making unexplained ones easier to spot.

Have a nice day,
