Current evaluation

Maintainer WIP enabling Multipass integration tests on Linux CI (uncommenting test-multipass in qa.yaml); +293/-178 over 5 files. Idle 196 days, 0 reviews/comments; policy and macOS slow-integration checks failing. Tracks open issue #754.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: This is an explicitly in-progress work branch by a maintainer (title 'Work/ci linux multipass', body 'Gemini is iterating...') with 0 comments and 0 reviewers, and its goal — running multipass_instance tests on Linux — is still requested by open issue #754. It is blocked by a concrete technical decision rather than neglect: the Makefile documents that test_multipass_instance.py is 'unreliable in this environment: its push_file_io/exec cases consistently fail and exhaust their reruns', so the job cannot simply be enabled. CI is not green (policy / Check PR title for Conventional Commits plus integration-slow-macos), and 196 days of inactivity alone does not meet the close_stale bar, which requires an abandoned revision request (none exist here) or irrecoverable architectural divergence.

    Open enhancement issue 'Run Multipass tests on Linux CI' that this PR attempts to implement; still open, with qa.yaml's test-multipass job still commented out on main.

  • Related To: canonical/craft-providers#921 (confidence 55%)

    Commit 55b77b8 'ci: enable integration tests on arm64' modified the same qa.yaml file; the commented-out test-multipass job sits directly below the arm64 test-lxd job this PR must coordinate with.
