+`friends_integration` (under a minute) is selected like any harness when the
+drivers or game implementation change. `lan_integration` is the whole LAN suite
+(~40 minutes on a loaded runner, and single checks flake under load), so
+`tools/parity_hosts.json` lists it under `named_only`: no automatic selection
+(`--changed`, `--failed`, `--flake-check`, CI, parity-main) picks it; it runs
+when named and in the nightly audit (`--all`). LAN writes `results.json`
 with the host mode and each result beside its screenshots and logs. A skipped
 case is recorded explicitly and does not count as passing coverage.
