### Automatic retries and flaky tests detection
On our CI, we use [rspec-retry] to automatically retry a failing example a few
times (see [`spec/spec_helper.rb`] for the precise retries count).
We also use a home-made `RspecFlaky::Listener` listener which records flaky
examples in a JSON report file on `master` (`retrieve-tests-metadata` and `update-tests-metadata` jobs), and warns when a new flaky example
is detected in any other branch (`flaky-examples-check` job). In the future, the
`flaky-examples-check` job will not be allowed to fail.
