Weekly Test Runs on Released Branches

[sarthakaggarwal97]

Resolves: #2228

Visualization: https://github.com/sarthakaggarwal97/valkey/actions/runs/19113712295

Currently, there are no tests running on the already released branches. We often do backport for bug fixes and CVEs in these older versions, and end up with multiple CI tests failures on these branches.

The PR adds support for running weekly tests on already released versions >= 7.2. The workflow will execute the "daily" test workflow for each of these branches on Sunday 06:00 UTC.

The idea is to continuously monitor our released versions through weekly test runs (during the time when is lesser activity on github runners).

I think we should prefer to use github workflow actions more than relying on APIs

Could you run it in your fork and share the run link here? Would like to visualize it.

@roshkhatri mentioned the daily runs on active PR against release branch. Do they conflict with each other or they just run in queued manner.

@hpatro @roshkhatri I added a link in the PR description to visualize the test.
Currently, it only ran for 8.0 and 8.1 in my fork, because I only had those branches in my fork. In valkey repo, it should be running on all the Valkey released branches. Please take a look.

Do they conflict with each other or they just run in queued manner.

They run in a queued manner.

Can you also add screen shots of the workflow runs as an example in the top comment??

[sarthakaggarwal97]

@roshkhatri there is a link in the top comment to display how it looks like.
PS: It only ran on 8.0 and 8.1 branches because locally I had fetched only those two branches.
