Hello,

I tend to agree with Sai; if we can run on demand the failed tests
that would be a cool feature. If we just rerun everything that fails
without questions asked we may do more harm than good. Taking into
account the fact that nobody runs all tests locally before submitting
a PR (cause it is not feasible) there is a very high chance that
things go really bad in CI and rerunning will just keep wasting
resources.

Best,
Stamatis
