Adding these in #630 was premature. The container QA lane they dispatch into fails 100% of the time -- 44 consecutive runs, zero passes -- so the only effect was a failing ghost-lab status on every open pull request in three more repositories, on top of the ones common and testsuite were already producing. That is the opposite of the intent: it inflates the review queue it was meant to drain, and a red status nobody can act on trains maintainers to ignore the signal. #619 and #618 fix the two known causes (missing pkg_resources under Python 3.14, and /dev/uinput permissions blocking dogtail input synthesis). Restore these repos once a lane is observed passing end to end, not before. test-on-lab still opts an individual pull request in. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Diff is a clean, symmetric revert of the AUTO_REPOS addition from #630 (just the three entries removed, comment updated to explain why) — no collateral changes. CI (lint) is green.
The justification is concrete and falsifiable: 44/44 consecutive failures on the container QA lane these three repos would dispatch into, which was turning every open PR's ghost-lab status red and inflating the review queue rather than draining it. The two suspected root causes (#619 uinput/setuptools, #618 dconf TOCTOU) are named as merged but not yet observed passing end-to-end in the lane, so reverting rather than leaving it broken-and-noisy is the right call. test-on-lab remains as a per-PR opt-in, so this doesn't remove the ability to test these repos, just the automatic (and currently guaranteed-failing) dispatch.

Reverts the AUTO_REPOS half of #630.
The container QA lane these dispatch into fails 100% of the time — 44 consecutive runs, zero passes. Auto-dispatching three more repositories into it only paints a failing
ghost-labstatus on every open PR, which inflates the review queue it was meant to drain.#619 (uinput +
setuptools<81) and #618 (dconf TOCTOU) fix the two known causes and are live on the cluster, but no lane has been observed passing end to end yet. Restore these repos once one has.test-on-labstill opts an individual PR in.Verified:
