When a user wishes to run a CI case locally, they use the generate_workflows.sh script, which looks through the dev/ci/cases/pr directory for YAMLs to determine which cases to run (e.g. C96C48_ufs_hybatmDA.yaml). These cases are supported on different machines, denoted by the skip_ci_on_hosts key. However, when cases are run through GitLab, the supported cases are determined by the gitlab-ci-hosts.yaml YAML. Having this in two separate locations makes for a cumbersome update procedure when new test cases are added. These lists should be consolidated in some way and ideally in a centralized and clearly labeled and documented YAML that both generate_workflows.sh and GitLab can work with.
