We have sporadic unexpected failures in tests. I think this is caused by
test_job_uniqueness
which uses multithreading and seems to interfere intermittently with other mocks. Since I could not found a way to avoid it or a better way to do this test (which I think right now is clean and reliable except for the mock interference) I think the best way is to just keep them separately, which is a good and common pattern in general.It marks the test with a new marker "multithreaded" which is never executed by default. Then CI stuff is updated to execute both, default and multithreaded, separately.
Depends on #1333
