Important

At least one additional CI pipeline execution has run since the conclusion below was written and it may no longer be applicable.

Nx Cloud is proposing a fix for your failed CI:

These changes fix the timeout error in e2e-release:e2e-ci--src/release-tag-pattern.test.ts by preventing daemon delegation during cache initialization. The test was timing out because assertCacheIsValid() attempted to delegate cacheCheckFsInSync() to the daemon, which may not be ready during e2e test setup, causing the async call to hang and exceed the 60-second timeout.

We verified this fix by re-running e2e-release:e2e-ci--src/release-tag-pattern.test.ts.
