Problem
GH-81 demonstrated that the software tests run on behalf of GHA fail on external contributions, because they do not have access to the OPS credentials per GitHub Actions Secrets. Bummer.
Solution
This patch will make running OPS-based tests optional. That this decreases the coverage of the code base, is unfortunate, but at least, tests will stop failing on CI. C'est la vie.
Outlook
A possible solution for a subsequent iteration would be to emulate/mock a OPS service backend, so integration tests could be synthesized. I think @gsong may have used such a technique on a previous version?
