May 1, 2025May 2025 summary for cockroachdb/cockroach: Delivered two test-infra enhancements to improve observability and reliability of the test suite. 1) Enhanced ChangefeedCursor test diagnostics by enabling verbose logging to diagnose missing updates (commit 72a1b4b747d52f8bdb7fb0257cf599ed9a5a4350). 2) Roachtest stability improvements for the fine-grained checkpointing test by extending the timeout to 30 minutes, removing a duplicate limit, and excluding Azure due to network issues (commits 17693edbe589833e7da8ad4318d975740a7dfe99; bece43e0ef2e42335b12285bb7f625a5c28d3540). Impact: improved observability, reduced test flakiness, and more reliable CI for changefeed-related changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: test instrumentation, verbose logging, roachtest configuration, environment-aware test gating.
