Description
This issue has been migrated from [#15941](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15941).
---
Ideally this would be a nightly job, so that if it fails on PRs this doesn't block anything.
Note to self: GitHub Actions steps each appear to start a new environment. Write a script that starts with `nix develop --impure` and takes as an argument what test suite to run.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's GitHub Actions configuration and the Nix development environment, then check how `nix develop --impure` can invoke the requested test suite. Done means a nightly CI job verifies the development environment builds successfully without blocking pull requests.
