Research direction
Examine the /update vrt workflow file in the repository (likely under .github/workflows/). Study PR #6987 to understand the request and expected implementation. Look at other workflows in the same repo that already use sharding for reference patterns. Identify the VRT tool (e.g., Playwright or Cypress) and its sharding capabilities.
