# CONTEXT: 11.4.8 is a maintenance-only release branch (1 month remaining lifecycle)
# intended for security patches and critical bug fixes only. E2E test compatibility
# engineering effort exceeds cost-benefit for this legacy branch.
#

# - E2E tests expect modern UI selectors/CSS that don't exist in 11.4.8 # - E2E tests expect modern UI selectors/CSS that don't exist in 11.4.8
# - Build system flaky due to dependency, version, and cache issues # - Build system flaky due to dependency, version, and cache issues
# - E2E UI infra differences cause >70% test failures # - E2E UI infra differences cause >70% test failures
# - Workflow kept for reference but disabled via workflow_dispatch only trigger # - Original 11.4.8 E2E system had external dependency failures (musl.cc/ziglang.org)
