Test fixtures were emitting flat walls of t.Logf with every line prefixed
by the same `lb_test.go:61:` (file:line of the call site that the
t.Helper() chain bubbles up to) and forced 6-space indent. Hard to skim,
hard to find where one phase ends and the next begins.
Add three helpers in tests/e2e/harness/log.go:
Phase(t, fmt, ...) — flush-left colored banner via fmt.Println.
Bypasses t.Logf so the line lands without the
testing framework's indent/file:line prefix.
Pure visual structure; the diagnostic detail
stays on t.Logf.
Step(t, fmt, ...) — single-line sub-phase marker via t.Logf.
Keeps file:line attribution so a triager can
find the source of a progress message.
Detail(t, k, v, ...) — key=value resource IDs via t.Logf. Same
attribution rationale as Step — IDs are
diagnostic and want to land in JUnit XML
bucketed with the owning test.
Why the split: Phase is purely a banner; losing JUnit attribution costs
nothing because banners aren't diagnostic. Step/Detail carry triage
context (instance IDs, AMI, etc.) and a failing test's JUnit testcase
node should still contain them, so t.Logf attribution is kept.
ANSI colors are auto-disabled when stdout isn't a TTY and GITHUB_ACTIONS
isn't set, so piped local `go test -v` stays clean.
Apply to lb_test setupSharedFixture — five Phase banners replace the
implicit run of helper logs ("Discovering cluster capacity",
"Ensuring SSH key pair", "Creating shared VPC topology",
"Launching app instances", "Launching probe client") so the live CI log
reads as a story rather than a flat resource dump.
