Bug: ci macos test failures are not reported about dorothy HOT 4 CLOSED

Part of this is that the echo-wait test on fresh macos is noisey even though the coreutils install was optional and quiet. Compatibility checks should be silent underneath such conditions.

If the hypothesis is incorrect that bash v3 is the cause, then the next place to look would be the workflow file.

I've tracked this down to bash v3 not behaving properly. For instance:

something that returns a failure exit status
echo $? # 0
something that returns a failure exit status || echo $? # 1

toggling bash.bash seems to have no effect, so am considering either a || exit $? on bash v3 for the run action, or having dorothy reload itself for bash v4 as soon as we can.

I have fixed this locally by reworking eval_capture. I'll push it up either today or tomorrow.
