hi @germanparente
I asked Claude to check if the failing e2e-gcp-console test was in any way related to the Axios bump.
Claude has found that the failing test is not caused by the Axios bump.

Details here:

e2e-gcp-console failure — unrelated to axios bump

The failing e2e-gcp-console run is not caused by commit 570e4f0 (axios ^0.31.1 → ^0.33.0).

This PR only changes frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. No UI, Pipelines, or Cypress test code was modified. analyze, backend, frontend, and images are green.

Actual failure is in e2e/pipeline-ci.feature: after installing Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, Cypress timed out waiting for the pipeline builder header to become visible because its parent drawer stayed display: none (waitForPipelineTasks). Remaining scenarios were skipped because this happened in a before-all hook.

This is unrelated to axios because:

• the failure is Pipelines operator install / UI readiness, not HTTP client behavior
• axios is only used in kubevirt CDI upload paths in this codebase
• related upload/secrets Cypress tests passed in the same job
• the diff is a dependency-only bump with no application code changes

This looks like a known flaky Pipelines UI readiness issue.
