Description

A single Dockerfile test runs 26 times currently on PR CI.

4 workers (oci, containerd1.0, containerd, oci-rootless) * 2 modes (builtin, client) * 2 fileop modes
4 workers * gateway * 2 fileop modes
oci * gateway-experimental * 2 fileop modes

This is probably an overkill and we can leave the full matrix for master branch testing.

Research direction

Start with the PR CI configuration that defines the Dockerfile test matrix and compare the listed worker, gateway, mode, and file-operation combinations. Reduce redundant PR coverage while retaining the full matrix for master-branch testing, then verify the resulting CI jobs and coverage.
