nightly.yml

# Nightly runs integration testing to check for stale distro metadata (hardcoded
# in cmds/cli/ci.json and cmds/webboot/distros.json).
#
# Distros regularly update to new versions, but webboot's distro metadata is
# hardcoded. Although integration testing is triggered on push and pull
# requests, webboot development is not always active. Testing distro metadata
# regularly helps catch out-of-date info sooner.
