name: Python suite ratchet
# The python test suite is not otherwise run here. That is how nine test files which could not
# even import went unnoticed: every test in them errored, and nothing reported it.
#
# Making the suite a blocking gate today would mean fixing 131 pre-existing failures before
# anything else could land. This job takes the middle path -- it records what fails today in
# tools/python_suite_baseline.json and fails only when a change ADDS a failure. Existing
# failures stay visible, and the baseline shrinks as they are fixed (rerun with --record).

pull_request:
# No `branches:` filter here, deliberately. This key filters on the BASE branch, and a
# stacked pull request is based on the branch below it, not on main -- so this job did not
# run on one at all. Worse, when the branch below it merged, GitHub retargeted the pull
# request to main and did NOT re-run anything: the stale checks from the feature-branch
# days stayed green and the pull request merged reporting success from a job that had
# never seen it. Running on every pull request costs a few Actions minutes and is the only
# way the gate covers the changes that actually reach main.
