Description

for some test envs that may fail, such as when testing development versions of dependencies, it would be useful to have a continue-on-error setting so that the failure of an expected unstable env does not make the entire status check fail

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepscontinue-on-error

jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].continue-on-error
Prevents a job from failing when a step fails. Set to true to allow a job to pass when this step fails.

Research direction

Inspect the reusable workflow definitions in this repository and compare their job and step structure with the linked GitHub Actions documentation. Determine where an environment-specific continue-on-error option would belong. Done means an expected failure in an unstable dependency environment no longer fails the entire status check while other environments retain normal failure behavior.
