I'm not sure if we could use that to check the C1 output though. Maybe @chhagedorn has some ideas?

The framework only supports regex matching on C2's ideal and opto assembly output. You would still need the current checks for C1's output. So, I'm not sure if it's worth transforming the C2 checks only to use the framework.
