Research direction
Start by tracing the existing HARNESS-NO-RETRY directive and global retry handling in Yath. Add a complementary directive that enables retries only for marked tests, then verify the behavior with the relevant harness tests; done means marked tests retry without requiring HARNESS-NO-RETRY on all other files.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently, if I have thousands of test files and I only want to allow retry on a couple of them, I have to add HARNESS-NO-RETRY on all the others and start yath with a global retry.
I would like to have a harness directive that does the opposite, call it FORCE-RETRY or ALWAYS-RETRY or OVERRIDE-RETRY or something like that, so I only need to add it to a specific test that is flaky while I work on stabilizing it.
You told me after your talk it could be added to the new Yath update ;)
Thanks!
