@@ -58,6 +58,11 @@ Do not flag the issues below if they appear in tests.
 - Flag usage of `expect.objectContaining` and other relaxed assertions, when a test expects something NOT to be included in a payload but there's no respective assertion.
 - Flag usage of conditionals in one test and recommend splitting up the test for the different paths.
 - Flag usage of loops testing multiple scenarios in one test and recommend using `(it)|(test).each` instead.
+- Flag tests that are likely to introduce flakes. In our case this usually means we wait for some telemetry requests sent from an SDK. Patterns to look out for:
+  - Only waiting for a request, after an action is performed. Instead, start waiting, perform action, await request promise.
+  - Race conditions when waiting on multiple requests. Ensure that waiting checks are unique enough and don't depend on a hard order when there's a chance that telemetry can be sent in arbitrary order.
+  - Timeouts or sleeps in tests. Instead suggest concrete events or other signals to wait on.
+- Flag usage of `getFirstEnvelope*`, `getMultipleEnvelope*` or related test helpers. These are NOT reliable anymore. Instead suggest helpers like `waitForTransaction`, `waitForError`, `waitForSpans`, etc.
