# Nightly race detector run.
#
# Runs all server tests with Go's -race detector enabled to catch
# data races. Runs sequentially (fullyparallel: false) on a 2-core
# runner to minimize resource usage — race detection adds significant
# overhead that makes parallel execution impractical.
#
# Schedule: Nightly at ~2am ET (6am UTC)
#
# Previously, -race was implicitly bundled with the binary params job
# via the fullyparallel=false → RACE_MODE coupling. This decouples
# the two concerns: binary params tests the Postgres driver encoding;
# this workflow tests for data races.
