Research direction

Start with test/test_credentials.py at line 194 and inspect the Linux GitHub Actions workflow that runs it. Determine why the xfailed test does not make the workflow fail, then document or correct the test/CI behavior so the failure is surfaced as intended.

This test is xfailing, is there a reason this isn't making the linux github actions fail?
