Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts. For some context here, I am looking to replace some internal scripts that handle failures by re-running tests. I thought we might be able to leverage the built-in features of the dotest to handle some of this. Let me collect some more data to see how much/what kind of flakiness we have.

Do you have any suggestions on how we should handle the "expected" flakiness because of how we test the debugger? Do you think this is something we should try to solve as part of the lldb testing framework?
