[PATCH] ktest: Store failure logs also in fatal paths
From: Ricardo B. Marlière
Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 15:00:59 EST
STORE_FAILURES was only saved from fail(), so paths that reached dodie()
could exit without preserving failure logs.
That includes fatal hook paths such as:
POST_BUILD_DIE = 1
and ordinary failures when:
DIE_ON_FAILURE = 1
Call save_logs("fail", ...) from dodie() too so fatal failures keep the
same STORE_FAILURES artifacts as non-fatal fail() paths.
