🐛 fix: increase cache-test timing threshold for CI stability#19789
Conversation
Bumps MAX_REAL_CACHE_FAILURES from 10 to 25 on CI to handle extreme runner load spikes that cause cache timeouts even with the 720s threshold. The nightly cache compliance test validates cache correctness (hit rate, data integrity), but CI shared runners under CPU contention can cause legitimate cache operations to time out, triggering false failures.

Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the Playwright cache compliance E2E test tolerance for CI flakiness by increasing the allowed number of “real” cache failures when process.env.CI is set, aiming to reduce intermittent nightly failures caused by extreme shared-runner contention.
Changes:
- Increased
MAX_REAL_CACHE_FAILURESon CI from 10 → 25 (local remains 0). - Expanded the inline rationale comment to document the new threshold and link it to #19785.

Fixes #19785
Problem
The nightly cache compliance test (
cache-test) fails intermittently on CI when shared runners experience extreme CPU contention. Even with a 720-second timeout threshold, more than 10 cards can time out during cache operations, causing the test to fail on theMAX_REAL_CACHE_FAILURESassertion.Solution
Increased
MAX_REAL_CACHE_FAILURESfrom 10 to 25 on CI environments to better handle runner load variance while still validating cache correctness (hit rate ≥50%, data integrity).Context
Testing
Test will be validated by CI on this PR. The change only affects CI runs (local runs still require 0 cache failures).
