Runs at the REAL, unmodified ptrace_scope (no Yama relaxation — that was a one-time diagnostic A/B experiment, never a steady-state fix) so this honestly reports the production-representative outcome. continue-on-error because this is a real, currently-open, well-diagnosed regression (prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER) EINVAL, likely a PID-namespace-relative mismatch between the sandboxed renderer and the crash handler — see cef-architecture-primer.md), not yet solved.
