Sample from the prior test failing due to timeout
The sample from the prior test is failing due to a timeout in the CI. It was removed in !949 (merged) to enable development, this issues tracks re-instating it (and fixing it for the nightly tests).
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 1 April 2025 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk.

I'm fairly sure this is due to a bug fix in dynesty
(https://github.com/joshspeagle/dynesty/pull/203) interacting with the zero log-likelihood.
Basically, only samples with a larger log-likelihood can be accepted and that isn't possible with the zero log likelihood.
I'm not sure if this is really a meaningful test for dynesty
anyway.
I was thinking about the zero likelihood test for the sampler review specification document and I think that most standard nested samplers should fail this test since the likelihood constraint is strictly increasing by definition. This definitely applies to cpnest
and nessai
and one the exception I know of is multinest
since it has an option to relax the hard constraint.

created merge request !950 (merged) to address this issue
As agreed on the development call I have created a MR to remove this from the nightly tests as well.
added Sampling label
