JAX's last day of work is dependency plumbing: the OpenXLA pin moved three times and a second overlap_test was taken offline for setups running libtpu older than 0.0.50.

Disable another overlap_test failing with libtpu < 0.0.50. google/jax

by Peter Hawkins

The test was disabled because it fails against libtpu versions below 0.0.50, so if you build JAX against an older libtpu you should expect that coverage to be skipped rather than passing. It is the second overlap_test retired for the same reason.

The pinned OpenXLA revision now points at e1ded6c147cd7d0f751641cf75432207e10504bb, committed 2026-10-03. JAX builds that follow the pin pick up that XLA state; anything pinned to the previous revision stays behind.
