@stevekuznetsov @smarterclayton infra flake?

[stevekuznetsov]

Infra seems fine here -- the error is from oc and seems legitimate.

@smarterclayton @sttts this seems like we got faster and we get something back in 1ns? that something was JSON junk we interrupted in the middle?

[sttts]

that something was JSON junk we interrupted in the middle

Could be. Any chance to reproduce locally?

[mfojtik]

Likely infra issue and haven't seen this for ~2 months, closing.
