## Helper: capture messages from a quiet spades() run, then filter out known
## baseline channels that are not gated by `debug` (Require/pak chatter, the
## simInit setDTthreads notice, and the spades saveSimOnExit notice). Anything
## remaining is a real surprise. The actual unknown content is embedded in
## the failure info so a CI or interactive run shows exactly what leaked
## through (different installs of reproducible, cli, etc. can occasionally
## emit a baseline message we hadn't anticipated).
