Description

#!watchflakes
post <- goos == "netbsd" && pkg == "runtime" && date > "2023-08-01"

On the build dashboard, the NetBSD ports start to become very flaky since CL https://go.dev/cl/526118. The failures are usually related to tests that are specific to OS threads. So the CL could be related. Filing an issue to investigate.
