+# The only live job here (integration-tests) builds the trace_machina/nativelink
+# OCI image from the docker-compose Dockerfile and runs run_integration_tests.sh.
+# That is a per-PR OCI build — the same class of heavy work #image-off-pr moved
+# off PRs for image.yaml and #2877 moved off PRs for the nix integration job.
+# This lane fell in the crack between those two, so defer it the same way:
+# nightly cross-check + on every merge to main, not on every PR. Per-PR
+# build/test signal is carried by the Nix "Bazel Dev" lane.
