Run IDs Eliminate Flaky Notification Tests
Flaky notification tests often fail because workflows lack a unique identifier per run, causing confusion between duplicate or stale messages. Assigning a single run ID to each workflow and carrying it through every step—email alias, payload metadata, logs—solves this. The approach reduces debugging time by linking all events to one execution context.
