Current evaluation
Merged in canonical/rockcraft#636, moving base-devel spread tests from regular CI to a manual workflow while retaining scheduled monitoring of large and flaky tests.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR canonical/rockcraft#636 was approved and merged. It repurposed the large spread run as manual while using cron to retain coverage of large and flaky base-devel tests.

Issue body
These tests are by their very nature flaky because the base devel changes constantly and can occasionally break in a way that cannot be fixed by us. However, we still want to keep an eye on them so repurpose the 'large' spread run into a 'manual' one that, via cron, runs both the 'large' tests and the 'flaky' ones.
