Subject: [PATCH] fix: parallel execution continues on failure and improves
 reliability
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Parallel mode now checks all commits even if one fails (stops after all jobs complete)
- Sequential mode still stops on first failure for fast feedback
- Added failure detection by checking logs for error markers
- Added clearer comments explaining execution modes
- Achieved 2.29x speedup: 32m13s → 14m2s with -j 8
