Description

How should collaborators report unrelated CI failures?

  • In this repo? (with this?) Do the instructions in the README replace the "older process"?
  • In a nodejs/node issue? (I've seen this before)
  • In a ping to nodejs/build in the issue (I've also seen this before)?

For the instructions, "notifying the team" means a @ ping?

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the README section “when discovering a potential new flake on the CI” and the linked templates/flake.txt process. Review the existing discussion to resolve where unrelated CI failures should be reported and what “notifying the team” means. Done means the README clearly documents one reporting path and the expected notification method.
