           Summary: build.webkit.org/dashboard should better present

          Platform: Unspecified

          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests

The dashboard currently has no code to build test result URLs pointing to retries directory, so it builds incorrect links for results like "TEXT CRASH", and is generally confusing in the presentation of results when retry fails differently than original run.

It is fairly rare that this happens, but it's the more annoying that rare unfamiliar events are presented badly in the UI. Buildbot results page is not much better in this regard.

I'm not quite sure how the presentation for something like "TIMEOUT IMAGE+TEXT" should look, perhaps we need two lines for such cases?

Long term, I would like to disable retrying on bots, or possibly to keep retrying but treat flaky tests as hard failures.
