Proposal distinguishes test flakes from bugs using classification rules

A technical proposal outlines rules to distinguish between genuine software bugs and temporary test failures known as flakes. It specifies three conditions that must be met for a test patch to receive a flake exemption rather than being rejected. The system requires separate files for property test reports and exemption records to prevent historical revision. The proposal classifies different failure types like order-dependent or clock-bound issues with specific handling rules. All described workflows remain theoretical proposals without implementation against live test suites.
