I've been observing that in recent push-out to 'master' and 'next', osx-* jobs in GitHub Actions CI keep running for 6 hours and get killed. What is troubling is that this seems to be very flaky. For example, https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/27778820659 is testing 95e20213 (Hopefully final batch before -rc2, 2026-06-17) which got killed after wasting 6 hours in osx-clang and osx-gcc jobs. https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/27790036076 is testing the same 'master', with a patch to .github/workflows/main.yml to remove everything except for config and osx-* jobs, which succeeded within 30 minutes.
