The Locust throughput SLO test is a different testing category from
functional e2e (variance-driven, historically flaky, currently
skip-annotated against LIT-5119) and erodes trust in the suite as a
release gate; it comes out of the default collection along with its
exclusive plumbing (locustfile, load-mock registration fixtures,
run_chat_load). Re-implementation as its own pipeline is tracked in
LIT-5163. The weekly session-anomaly test never ran in the suite (opt-in
via E2E_WEEKLY_ANOMALY, driven by its own workflow) and stays, as do the
markerless aggregation unit tests.
The vllm passthrough test read-times-out (60s) against the shared
vllm-cpu backend in every run on the per-SHA e2e stack; it is removed
until LIT-5164 establishes whether that is backend capacity or a
passthrough defect. Its registry cells return to the gap list, which is
the honest state
