Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Review how runners are configured and how the regression matrix starts tests, then determine what toolset validation and failure reporting are needed before execution. Done means misconfigured runners are detected before their tests run and do not pollute the regression matrix.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From time to time misconfigured runners appear on regression matrix. It would be better to perform some kind of a toolset check before actually running the tests, it will prevent regression matrix pollution and will allow runner mainteiners faster recognize that something went wrong.
