I've received some feedback that replicating CI jobs locally isn't straightforward. Perhaps the documentation can be improved in this area? @maflcko I understand you had some improvements in mind? Happy to also work on this.

Yeah, this keeps coming up (ex: #31144 (comment)), but I don't know how to improve the docs.
Another related idea was to move the CC/CXX/SANITZER/... build options into a cmake preset, which could make it easier to reproduce some CI failures. Ref: https://bitcoin-irc.chaincode.com/bitcoin-core-dev/2024-09-05#1050658 and some more discussion in #30871 (comment)

this was moved to dev-mode in #33824, so maybe this is already a step in the right direction?

Yeah, I think this can be closed for now, but I'd be excited to see new issues, if there are still questions or hard CI edges. Also, happy to review more pull requests around CI docs.
