Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?
It's possible that the C++ API is used on single-core machines. If we don't test our code on single core, it's possible we use threading primitives that require multi-core to make progress, e.g spin-locks.

Describe the solution you'd like
We should at a minimum KNOW if we support single-core machines via running integration tests against them. It could be we explicitly decide not to support single-core usage, but we should at least know the status.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Have not considered alternatives.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's C++ integration-test setup and how test environments can be constrained to a single core. Determine whether the integration tests can run there and whether the project supports that usage; done means the support status is established and covered by integration-test results.
