The premise
AI is good at clustering flakes by symptom; humans still decide quarantine policy.
What AI does well here
- Cluster failed CI runs by stack-trace fingerprint.
- Suggest likely root causes (timing, ordering, resource).
- Draft a quarantine PR with TODO and owner.
What AI cannot do
- Confirm that a 'fix' is real without re-running the test many times.
- Decide acceptable flake rate for your team.
