I think the polish on this patch is okay but also there are some moderate importance cleanups that are recommended by the AI code review: https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2026-June/1011807.html
If you can't get time for this before RC3 I think we can merge this series, but some of the cleanups (i.e. safely handling yaml string vs list of strings format in the test_run.yaml) are valuable and if you can add that either right now for RC3 or early in the 25.11 release window that is ideal. Let me know what you think. Reviewed-by: Patrick Robb <[email protected]>
