When the user invokes run-examples.sh with a name filter that resolves to exactly one match, they're running that example on purpose — caching the previous pass and skipping it is surprising. Batch runs and fuzzy filters matching multiple examples still use the cache. Generated-By: PostHog Code Task-Id: 8eea9ca1-1939-4c59-b12a-92784f5b7238

Problem
When invoking
run-examples.shwith a name filter that resolves to exactly one example (e.g../run-examples.sh openai/embeddings), the runner would silently skip execution if the example was already cached from a previous passing run. If you're running a specific example by name, you almost certainly want it to actually run.Changes
RERUN=1in the single-match branch of the name-based matcher so the cache check is bypassed.Batch runs (
--all,--parallel, or fuzzy filters matching multiple examples) still respect the cache.How did you test this code?
Manual: ran
./run-examples.sh <name>for a cached example and confirmed it re-executed rather than reporting "cached".Created with PostHog Code
