+#
+#   This is an e2e test that carries out all the operations necessary to create a new workspace from scratch.
+#   In order to iterate upon this spec quickly, this first version doesnt manage/orchestrate KAS / agentk
+#   / gitlab but expects them to be up and running.
+#
+#   How to setup the test
+#
+#   1. Ensure gitlab is up and running with default KAS / agentk stopped
+#   2. Setup agentk and start agentk with the token received \
+#   3. Call the helper scripts at `scripts/remote_development/run_e2e_spec.sh`
