Failure Signature
Job logs only include the gotestsum summary (no stack traces or assertion output present):
=== FAIL: coderd TestInboxNotification_Watch (161.41s)
=== FAIL: coderd TestInboxNotifications_List (159.53s)
DONE 13841 tests, 66 skipped, 158 failures in 449.770s
Root Cause Hypothesis
No data race warnings, panics, or OOM indicators were found in the job logs after scanning multiple sections. Given both tests ran for ~160s before failing, this looks timing-related (likely waiting on inbox notification events under the race build). Additional detail may be in gotests.xml/Datadog since the log does not include per-test failure output.
