+ * Utility function to determine if a given test case needs to run with --turbo.
+ *
+ * This is primarily for the gradual test enablement with latest turbopack upstream changes.
+ *
+ * Note: it could be possible to dynamically create test cases itself (createDevTest(): it.each([...])), but
+ * it makes hard to conform with existing lint rules. Instead, starting off from manual fixture setup and
+ * update test cases accordingly as turbopack changes enable more test cases.
