Description of problem
I have one dedicated board connected to a raspberry pi to run remote commands. I can execute from different platforms (github action, development machine) platformio remote test commands to run tests. Now i found out that I can corrupt another run in just executing the test command again on another machine. I was thinking that there is maybe something like a synchronization going on and it is waiting until the first run finished. But it was executed directly without waiting to finish the first one.
Is it possible to add some kind of synchronization? otherwise the remote command is useless for me.

Research direction
Start by reading and reproducing the concurrent platformio remote test behavior on the shared Raspberry Pi board. Trace the remote command entry point and determine how overlapping runs are handled. Done means a second remote test waits for the first run to finish instead of corrupting it.
