Update pipeline freshness windown to 16h
What does this MR do and why?
Ref: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/quality-engineering/team-tasks/-/issues/4035
- This MR extends the merge train pipeline freshness window from 8 hours to 16 hours.
- This change is part of our ongoing effort to reduce RSpec pipeline costs by minimizing unnecessary tier-3 pipeline reruns.
- 16 hours should be sufficient to accommodate most asynchronous timezone handoffs between globally distributed teams, allowing approved MRs to merge without forcing fresh pipeline runs during normal collaboration delays.
