      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.
