🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 14 | ❌ 1

❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	⚠️ Warning	The PR adds a periodic github-branch-sync test whose commands call api.github.com and clone from github.com, requiring public internet connectivity.	Apply the IPv6/disconnected compatibility notice: use an internal mirror or verify this job in the required IPv6 CI context; otherwise exclude it from disconnected runs.

Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The diff changes only periodic YAML and generated job definitions; added names and branch values are static, and no Ginkgo title construct is introduced.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The PR changes only CI YAML and generated Prow job YAML; the diff adds/removes branch-sync and downstream-merge jobs and contains no Ginkgo test code or test assertions.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The pull request changes only periodic YAML configuration and generated job definitions; it adds no Ginkgo tests or test bodies that could reference unavailable MicroShift APIs.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR changes only CI periodic YAML and generated job configuration; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or multi-node assumptions.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff only changes ci-operator/Prow periodic jobs; added content has no affinity, topology spread, replica, node selector, toleration, or PDB scheduling constraints.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The pull request changes only six YAML files. The patch adds or removes job references and contains no OTE binary or process-level stdout write.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The PR changes only periodic YAML and generated job definitions; no weak-crypto algorithm appears in changed lines, and the invoked branch-sync signs with SHA-256/RS256.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The six changed YAML files add no privileged:true, hostPID/hostNetwork/hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation:true, or runAsUser: 0 settings.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The diff adds only repository and branch names plus a standard job definition; the referenced script logs no secret values, and removed jobs cannot add sensitive logging.

Interacting with pj-rehearse

Comment: /pj-rehearse to run up to 5 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse skip to opt-out of rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse {test-name}, with each test separated by a space, to run one or more specific rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse more to run up to 10 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse max to run up to 25 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse auto-ack to run up to 5 rehearsals, and add the rehearsals-ack label on success
Comment: /pj-rehearse list to get an up-to-date list of affected jobs
Comment: /pj-rehearse abort to abort all active rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed to allow rehearsals of tests that have the restrict_network_access field set to false. This must be executed by an openshift org member who is not the PR author
