Description

Some tests were landed in staging in #4116 by the sync bot. Then in #4262 a contributor reviewed them and moved them out of staging. Then in #4556 the tests were re-landed in staging by the sync bot. This shouldn't happen, so it's probably something that needs to be fixed in the sync bot.

Research direction

Start by tracing the V8 sync bot behavior involved in issues #4116, #4262, and #4556, comparing the staging state before and after each sync. Identify why tests deliberately moved out of staging were selected again, then verify the fix with a regression test showing that removed tests are not re-synced.
