Set fail-fast: false on both matrix jobs in .github/workflows/ci.yml, test and browser.

With GitHub's default (fail-fast: true), the first failing cell cancelled the other cells of its job. That had two costs:

  • a flaky cell cancelled the primary cell too, so the coverage job had no artifact to combine and failed as well;
  • "Re-run failed jobs" counts cancelled cells as failed, so a rerun repeated all of them, not just the one that flaked.

Now every cell runs to the end and reports its own result, and a rerun covers only the red cells. The trade: a push that is broken everywhere runs every cell to the end instead of stopping at the first failure.

The coverage job's comment no longer describes a primary cell cancelled by fail-fast. CONTRIBUTING.md says nothing about cancellation, so it is unchanged.

Checked locally: just fmt-check passes, actionlint reports nothing, and the parsed workflow has fail-fast: false on test and browser. The CI run on this PR is the real test.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Test and browser checks now continue running across all configured combinations when one fails, making it easier to see the full set of results.
    • Coverage reporting notes that missing primary coverage artifacts may be due to a failure in the primary test run.

Both matrix jobs, `test` and `browser`, now set `fail-fast: false`.
With the default, the first red cell cancelled the rest of its job,
the primary cell included, so one flaky cell also took coverage's
combine down and a rerun had to repeat every cancelled cell. Now each
cell reports its own result, and "Re-run failed jobs" repeats only
the red ones. The cost: a push that is broken everywhere runs every
cell to the end.

The coverage job's comment no longer mentions a primary cell cancelled
by fail-fast, which can no longer happen.

Walkthrough

The CI workflow disables fail-fast for the test and browser job matrices. It also updates the coverage comment to remove matrix cancellation as a possible cause of missing primary artifacts.

Delayed partial reruns can fail coverage after artifacts expire; rerunning all jobs is a workaround.

Retain coverage data for partial reruns.

If a non-primary cell fails, the primary cells can now succeed and keep their artifacts. After one day, those artifacts expire. A later rerun of the failed cell also reruns coverage, but not the successful primary cells, so the combine step fails. GitHub permits reruns for 30 days. (docs.github.com)

Increase retention for both primary artifacts, or regenerate them when needed.
