The test_incremental_repair_race_window_promotes_unrepaired_data test
was flaky because it hardcodes servers[1] as the restart target but did
not ensure servers[1] was NOT the topology coordinator.
When servers[1] happened to be the Raft group0 leader (topology
coordinator), restarting it killed the leader, forced a new election,
and the new coordinator re-initiated tablet repair. This re-repair
flushes memtables on all replicas via take_storage_snapshot() and marks
the resulting sstables as repaired -- causing post-repair keys to appear
in repaired sstables on servers[0] and servers[2]. The test then hit
the wrong assertion (servers[0]/[2] contaminated).
Fix: before starting the repair, check whether servers[1] is the
topology coordinator. If so, move leadership to another server via
ensure_group0_leader_on() so that restarting servers[1] only kills a
follower -- which does not trigger an election or coordinator change.
Reproducibility was confirmed by forcing leadership to servers[1] via
ensure_group0_leader_on() and observing deterministic failure with all
three servers showing post-repair keys in repaired sstables (confirming
the re-repair scenario), then verifying the fix passes reliably.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
