What is the strongest local and CI reporter split for these consumers?

  1. AGenerate a separate HTML report inside each shard and keep none of them as artifacts
  2. BKeep list as the only reporter everywhere and reconstruct a combined result from console logs later, since reviewers might be able to infer shard context manually
  3. CDisable reporters so traces become smaller
  4. DUse list locally; emit blob reports on CI shards, merge once to HTML, and set open to never
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
