Summary:
Investigate options to remove the disagg “failure expected” build variants from the develop Evergreen waterfall to a different waterfall page (created via a feature branch).
Problem:
The disagg variants intentionally fail and currently appear red on the develop waterfall. This:
- Impacts the “develop should be green” health signal
- Adds noise/overhead for barons
At the same time, keeping them on develop enables:
- BB-UI triaging without extra setup
- Commit level testing
We need to determine whether Evergreen tooling supports a cleaner solution (e.g., separate Evergreen project and auto-rebasing with develop) without introducing high maintenance overhead (e.g., constant rebasing, branch management complexity).
Goals (1 day Spike):
- Validate whether disagg variants can run on a different evergreen project.
- Confirm whether BB-UI triaging works (seperately) with a separate Evergreen project.
- Estimate ongoing maintenance cost (do we need constant rebasing with develop?).
Non-Goals:
- Full implementation (unless trivial).
If the implementation is unnecessarily complicated, we should drop the task for now.
