This short report brings to light some interesting commits to [scylla-cluster-tests.git master](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests) from the last 3 weeks. Commits in the 6554c1a7…6b878721 range are covered.

There were 70 non-merge commits from 15 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

[The test\_tester suite was rewritten to use pytester](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/b4ba924150faf5302baf5add6ffd0e019e21378), improving isolation by running in a separate process, simplifying markers, and surfacing failing tests more clearly while removing the custom make\_report hook.

Manager test updates:

- [Monitor version bumped to 4.11](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/3b4217988ad04734fb6ddc0e7ea0c5488146b781) to align with the latest release.
- [Debian tests switched to Debian 12](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/c6708a6750aa50b3afa80b0d5b3c2846a3765349); related Jenkinsfiles/YAMLs were renamed and python-setuptools was replaced with python3-setuptools.
- [Manager 3.6.0 set as the default version](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/b514c3938ab063d114ace02fcb5054c4c95c7ac3) across tests and pipelines.

[Stress logs now include timestamps in both filenames and entries](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/b77b4d388ddb1064a591baced160c718f3b61e3c), enabling easier correlation with other logs and distinguishing parallel stress runs.

README has been enhanced [with guidance for running SCT locally with Docker](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/684d910abdc3aa7f365f378d4d785441e3fd999b) (disabling Argus, logs directory, Docker backend limitations).

Added native/rclone [backup benchmarking under read/write stress](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/79044cefebbd8c7f57b61f54431aa74ed4c63280), measuring S3 backup duration and stress latencies.

Dependency and tooling updates:

- [actions/checkout updated to v5](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/6554c1a77632838e2951552f6519821f6f33df40)
- [scylla-driver bumped to v3.29.4](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/2054622477e1f96bdfb4a69fb75c89dd2724f89a)
