Parallel-exec hardening: stage-exec-test (from-0 / chaintip / resume-nonchaintip) fails in both serial and parallel modes #21107

Symptom

On the EXEC3_PARALLEL test matrix (#21017), the QA - Stage Exec Smoke Test workflow's stage-exec-test jobs fail in both modes:

  • stage-exec-test (from-0, serial) ❌ and (from-0, parallel)
  • stage-exec-test (chaintip, serial) ❌ and (chaintip, parallel)
  • stage-exec-test (resume-nonchaintip, serial) ❌ and (resume-nonchaintip, parallel)

Because these fail on the serial path too, the root cause is not an exec3-parallel race — it's a separate concern (re-exec-from-0 / chaintip sync behavior). It was explicitly scoped out of #21088 (which is the parallel-commitment correctness fix).

What to do

  • Triage the stage-exec-test failures starting from the serial-mode logs (since serial failing rules out the parallel-specific paths).
  • Identify whether this is a pre-existing failure on main or a regression introduced by a recent change.
  • Fix or, if it's a known-flaky/infra issue, document and stabilize.
