Research direction

Start with the failing backup/mvcc-range-tombstones artifact and the roachtest README at pkg/cmd/roachtest/README.md; inspect test_runner.go:901 and the linked Grafana data for the broken-pipe SSH failure. Use the internal investigation guide if available. Done means identifying the cause and verifying a reliable resolution for this recurring roachtest failure.
