Hey look! There are [Jammy-based ARM runners](https://github.com/actions/partner-runner-images#available-images) now!
NOTE: I don't plan to make the additional workflows required unless I get pushback on that. I'm more interested in "notice that this doesn't work" than "we need to let this finish running before we merge your PR because you fixed a typo in the changelog" for this stuff, so it would be on the person doing the merge to decide about failing tests that don't meet our core requirements. I definitely won't be making s390x or ppc64el required until those are no longer marked as experimental (I don't want CI to fail because there aren't any of those runners available), but I'm happy to discuss our feelings on focal amd64 runners and jammy/noble arm64 runners (I can see arguments both ways for them).

| Issue | Project | State | Summary | Similarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1276 ci: run Python plugin tests on more platforms | craft-parts | merged | Merged to expand CI testing for Python plugins across additional platforms and architectures. Approved by two reviewers with all checks passing. Matrix maintainability concerns were noted but deemed acceptable. | |
| #1279 ci: run non-plugin tests on more platforms | craft-parts | merged | Merged following reviewer approval and successful CI checks. The update expands continuous integration testing for non-plugin tests to additional platforms and architectures. | |
| #1303 ci: test java plugins on more platforms | craft-parts | merged | Merged after approval and passing CI checks. Continuous integration testing for Java plugins now covers additional platforms and architectures. A changelog entry was omitted, with related chisel test failures tracked separately. | |
| #46 ci: test on more platforms | debcraft | merged | Merged after two reviewer approvals and passing all CI checks. The change expands continuous integration testing to additional Ubuntu versions and architectures, enabling earlier issue detection with minimal modifications across two files. | |
| #1278 ci: run java plugin tests on more platforms | craft-parts | closed | Closed after passing all CI checks. Changes to expand Java plugin test coverage across additional platforms were not merged, likely abandoned due to inactivity or dependency on PR #1275. | |
| #1277 ci: run other plugin tests on more platforms | craft-parts | closed | Closed without merging due to failing CI checks and zero reviewer approvals. The pull request to expand plugin test platforms was abandoned. | |
| #1030 ci: run Python tests on arm64 | craft-application | merged | Merged. Enables Python unit and integration tests on ARM64 runners. Resolved ARM64 compatibility issues and marked complex fetch service tests as amd64-only, tracking remaining work in issue #1032. Approved and passes CI. Prerequisite for #1027 and CRAFT-4992. | |
| #1310 ci: enable more platforms for python plugins | craft-parts | closed | Closed as a duplicate of pull request #1276. The changes enabling additional platforms for Python plugins were superseded by the referenced PR. CI checks previously showed failing slow tests across several platforms. | |
| #144 ci: update CI platforms | craft-cli | merged | Merged after approval. Updates CI platforms and removes Ubuntu-18.04 tests to bypass CI checks and unblock a linting fix. Approved by one reviewer and successfully merged. | |
| #3065 tests: fix local plugin spread test to be multi-arch aware | snapcraft | merged | Merged a fix updating the local plugin spread test for multi-architecture compatibility, enabling autopkgtests to pass on non-amd64 platforms. Approved by one reviewer, passed CI checks, and applied with minimal changes. |
