  • Closes #xxxx

One of checkbox below must be checked.

  • I did not use AI to write the code of this patch.
  • This PR follows our AI policy

Summary

I've looked at the retry attempts of this step and it seems to not be more than 2, which we already get using --slow-ci(that sets --rerun).

we can revert this if we get CI failures often

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Simplified continuous integration by removing special handling and repeated retries for previously flaky multiprocessing tests.
    • These tests now run as part of the standard CPython test suite.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CPython CI workflow no longer excludes multiprocessing tests from the main test run. It also removes the separate serial retry step and its flaky test configuration.

Changes

CPython CI test execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run multiprocessing tests in the main invocation
.github/workflows/ci.yaml
The workflow removes FLAKY_MP_TESTS, stops passing the exclusion list to the main test command, and deletes the separate serial retry step.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5cc16

This PR changes multiprocessing test retries so failures can rerun in parallel instead of serially, which may preserve multiprocessing flakes and reduce CI reliability. Merge should wait for an explicit serial fallback or owner acceptance of this bounded risk.

Keep a serial fallback for multiprocessing flakes.

-j ${{ steps.cores.outputs.cores }} sets self.num_workers to a value greater than zero. In _rerun_failed_tests, --slow-ci changes the worker count to 1 only when it is 0; failed tests from this workflow therefore rerun in parallel. Retain an explicit -j 1 fallback for these tests.
