Does the comment match what the code does? The comment says "the walk
still happens", but the guard now requires either env->error_summary or w
to be non-NULL.

When --no-error-summary is passed without --json-summary, both
env->error_summary and w are false/NULL, so the entire for loop at the
bottom of this function gets skipped, not just the human readable output.

The walk does happen with --no-error-summary --json-summary FILE (where
w != NULL), but not in the no-JSON case. Could the comment be more
specific, maybe "the walk still happens when a JSON report was requested,
so the JSON report keeps its per-test results"?
