Quarantined-test expiry watchdog: nag owners before skips rot
Runs weekly, finds tests still carrying a quarantine skip annotation past their SLA, escalates the linked Linear ticket.

What it does
Prevents quarantine from becoming permanent. It scans the repo for tests still tagged as quarantined, checks how long each has been skipped against an SLA, and escalates the stale ones so coverage gaps don't quietly accumulate.
When to use it
Use alongside any quarantine workflow. Skipping a flaky test buys time but creates a coverage hole; this watchdog makes sure each skip has an expiry and an owner who gets nagged until the test is fixed and re-enabled.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule triggers the run.
- 2The flow scans the GitHub repo for current quarantine annotations and their applied dates.
- 3A branch filters to tests skipped longer than the SLA (e.g. 14 days).
- 4For each stale skip, it bumps the linked Linear ticket priority and adds an escalation comment.
- 5It pings the assigned owner in Slack with the test name, days quarantined, and the ticket link.
