+# Optional, non-required check. The hosted runners have no GPU, so build.yml
+# only compiles the code. This builds it and runs the ctest suites (roundtrip,
+# hostptr and fortran) on a simulated NVIDIA H100
+# (https://github.com/pantheongpu/pantheonsim). A simulator cannot reproduce
+# hardware-specific behavior or timing, so it complements real-GPU testing and
+# does not replace it.
