A proposal to add a CTestConfig.cmake so build and test data from nightly, continuous, and experimental runs collect in one place. It was implemented during the meeting (PR #35222), and results are now visible on a public, currently unauthenticated CDash project for Bitcoin Core.

The dashboard becomes more valuable as contributors, users, and package maintainers submit results from esoteric builds and exotic hardware; an example ctest upload script was shared (and any LLM can generate one). The stated aim is to deliberately try to break builds on unusual configurations so maintainers and contributors can fix them — breakages on the dashboard are the point.
