Subject: [PATCH] Rerun flaky SSHRemoteJobOperator kill test on process-group
 races

test_kill_terminates_whole_job_tree intermittently fails its pre-kill
check on CI: the wrapper records $! expecting it to equal the job PGID,
but setsid only skips forking when the launching shell is not a
process-group leader. On some runners it forks, so $! is the short-lived
setsid parent and the job's real group is empty by the time pgrep -g
runs. Rerun on a fresh draw so the environment-dependent race does not
fail unrelated PRs.
