------------------------------+-----------------------
 It's fairly common for GitHub Action workflows to fail because of several
 different types of errors. Some examples include:

 - Chromium timeout errors
 - WordPress.org hiccups when making requests within PHP unit tests
 - NPM install errors
 - Docker container registry timout and connection issues.

 In almost all cases (except when there are service level outages),
 rerunning the workflow will result in a successful outcome. Because this
 is currently manual, it's sometimes forgotten.

 Our Actions workflows should attempt to fix these runs by automatically
 rerunning failed jobs.
