+# Optional (non-blocking) test run on a PyPy 3.11 nightly build, see #1755.
+#
+# borg does not officially support pypy, this job is here to notice breakage on
+# either side early: pypy nightlies change daily, and borg's C extension code
+# keeps running into cpyext differences (pypy/pypy#5543, #5544, #5545, #5546,
+# #5564, #5565 all came out of this).
+#
+# Deliberately not part of ci.yml: it runs on a schedule (and on demand), not on
+# every PR, and continue-on-error keeps a red pypy from looking like a broken
+# build. If pypy support ever becomes a supported target, move it into ci.yml's
+# native_tests matrix instead (that matrix has an "allow-failure" flag).
