That is, unless the automated system moves the file around from the
predictable name to whatever suits it best (that may include which
run the result is part of).

Parsing logs sound like a hackish way to do things quite honestly. Just
having a predictable name and moving the file wherever relevant seems a
lot easier on all sides.

Also, since we're making the code for frame dumping independent from
whether it comes from crc or full frame testing, it doesn't play out too
well to carry the crc result until the point of writing the png file.
