    # Advisory for the same reason as the job above: master has no branch
    # protection, so a failure here is a visible red X rather than a blocked
    # merge. That is a repository-settings property, not a YAML key. The key
    # that looks like it says "advisory" instead flips the run's conclusion to
    # success, which hides the failure rather than flagging it, so it appears in
    # none of this repo's workflows and must not be added here.
    #
    # Separate job from tests-e2e-distributed so the fast in-process suite is
    # not held behind a Go build of local-ai. Serial on purpose: each Ginkgo
    # process would get its own PostgreSQL and NATS container and each spec
    # spawns two or three local-ai children, so --procs on an unmeasured runner
    # is a change to make with numbers, not by default.
    #
    # Measured at 8m39s over three consecutive runs (509.1s / 509.8s / 512.3s).
    # Three specs sit at ~167s each because they wait out a 60s staleness
    # threshold plus a 15s reconcile tick. Do not shorten those windows to make
    # this job faster: the wait is what stops the assertions from passing before
    # the system could have reacted, which was a real false green earlier on.
