 Smoke tests can potentially be flaky, and one attempt to avoid flaky tests in the default branch is to run the final implementation of a test atleast 20 times locally to prove its stability. If a test is unable to achieve this, it is very unlikely to be accepted into the test suite.
 
 You can repeat a test quickly by wrapping it with the following block:
-```js

+```ts
 describe.only.each(new Array(20).fill(1))('iteration %#', _ => {
   it('your test name', () => {
