July 2025: Stabilized CI for google/kotlin amid LV master transition to 2.3. Implemented a fast mitigation by temporarily disabling testVersionsAreConsistent (KT-76136) to keep builds green and prevent blocking downstream work. Commit 0c18efea5ac64dbc6292518594609ebbc6faa4b9 documents the mitigation. Result: master remains green, pipeline noise reduced, and ongoing feature work protected while LV alignment progresses. Next steps: re-enable testVersionsAreConsistent once LV is aligned to 2.3 and validated across CI.
