  # We currently don't run system-tests using their `Local` backend on PRs for now since that would be too slow.
  # These tests reserve a significant number of CPUs from Bazel causing them to effectively spend most of their time waiting
  # to get a share of the only 64 CPUs of the GitHub runner. To run them fast we need to run them on a
  # Bazel Remote Execution cluster such that the tests can be distributed across many 64-CPU builders. That's still work in progress.
  # So to test the `_local` system-tests we run them daily via this job.
