Yeah, Sashiko has a point:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260712031648.486110-1-bp%40kernel.org

So we want the error records to be compact and fit in a block so that you can
recognize them easier and thus not print each thing with a newline.

But those things are not unconditional so you cannot always know.

I need to think of a slick scheme what to do here.
