# 7 minutes stopped being enough for JRuby once the suite grew past
# ~600 tests: every JRuby cell on master now burns all three attempts
# on `Timeout of 420000ms hit` and dies at the job cap, so the cell
# has stopped gating anything. Locally the full suite is 390s on
# JRuby with vips and 434s with chunky_png -- the budget is the
# problem, not the driver.
# Measured on master run 32643567648: a clean JRuby attempt is
# 545-713s depending on the gemfile, so 15 min is ~26% headroom over
# the slowest. MRI is 128s against 3 min.

# Two, not three. A third attempt never fit inside the job cap on
# either engine (JRuby 3x15=45 > 25; MRI 3x3=9 > 8), so it only ever
# got killed partway and reported the cell as `cancelled`. Keeping
# the retry budget inside the cap is what makes the cell a real gate.
#
# The retry exists solely for the intermittent JRuby teardown hang
# (#244), which strands the process for minutes *after* the suite
# prints `Finished in ...`. Once #244 is fixed, drop this to a single
# attempt and the JRuby cap to 16 -- that halves the JRuby bill.
