Description
Description
During investigation of frontend test cancellations (issue 34194), discovered that nightly workflow is not running frontend tests or other matrix tests. Nightly should run ALL tests to catch issues before they reach PR workflows. This prevented early detection of the worker exit failures that started after PR 34099 merged on Dec 15. Frontend tests would have failed nightly between Dec 15-22, alerting team before PRs were affected on Dec 23. Need to investigate why nightly skips matrix tests and restore full test coverage to nightly runs.

Research direction
Start by locating the nightly workflow and its matrix configuration, then compare it with the PR workflow to determine why matrix jobs, including frontend tests, are skipped. Done means the nightly run executes all matrix tests and confirms frontend coverage; the acceptance criteria still need to be defined.
