Transient failure in qa/specs/features/browser_ui/3_create/repository/push_mirroring_lfs_over_http_spec.rb:6 # Create Push mirror a repository over HTTP configures and syncs LFS objects for a (push) mirrored repository

Summary

I believe the test added in !40137 (diffs, comment 415135195) cannot be run in production since an admin user is needed to enable/disable feature flags.

It also fails with:

Which should be fixed by !43233 (merged)
