+# Advisory-tier scripts for mode=release validation.
+#
+# These are known-slow REAL-SEARCH scripts (real Nautilus fits + finite-difference
+# JAX gradients) that flake around the per-script timeout cap under CI load. Unlike
+# no_run.yaml, an ADVISORY entry does NOT skip the script — it STILL RUNS and is
+# reported — but a *timeout* on it is advisory (YELLOW), not a release-blocking RED.
+# A timeout on any script NOT listed here is still RED. Only timeouts are de-gated;
+# a genuine exception on an advisory script is still a failure.
+#
+# This is what lets mode=release gate on correctness instead of the perf-flake tail.
+# Growing this list never erodes coverage (the script keeps running), so it converges
+# where no_run SLOW-skips whack-a-mole. Durable speedups that let entries be removed
+# are the Profiling Agent's job. See PyAutoHeart docs/release_validation.md and #74.
+#
+# Format mirrors no_run.yaml: entries with '/' substring-match the file path
+# (include '.py' to anchor); marker `# ADVISORY <YYYY-MM-DD> - <reason>`.
+#
+# Seeded from the 2026-07-13 re-val #3/#4 flip-flop population (the set literally
+# shifted run to run — shared_preloads flip-flopped). Scripts already SLOW/NEEDS_FIX
+# in no_run.yaml (imaging jax_grad/delaunay_mge/mge_group, multi/delaunay_mge,
+# database/scrape/slam_*) are NOT repeated here — no_run skips them before they run.
