A test of how Obeya treats a remote machine that stops answering failed on GitHub's Linux runner but passed on macOS, which blocked the v0.7.0 release. Obeya itself behaved correctly. The test had measured how fast a background process starts instead of whether Obeya answers without waiting for the machine. It now checks that directly and passes reliably on Linux and macOS.
