 ## Coding rules
 
   - Code may not introduce any compiler errors, or warnings (latter: on current CI runners)
-  - All unit tests must succeed at all times. If tests fail, code is not merged.
+  - All unit tests must succeed (minimally) on the specified systems/configurations on gitlab-ci. If tests fail, code is not merged.
   - We use C++17 concepts wherever useful and helpful
   - On any major error or malfunction we throw an exception. This is needed and required for complex physics and shower debugging.
   - We never catch exceptions for error handling, there might be very few special exceptions from this. We need to discuss such cases.
