Our Commentary ​

This is a smart move from Cypress. We've all been there, waiting for a full suite to re-run just because one flaky test failed. Saving CI minutes and getting to green faster is a tangible win. I wonder how robust the 'current build' detection is, but the premise is solid. It's a clear value-add for their paid tiers.
