CI failure

When the CI runs, it fails with the log:

https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/blob/main/.github/workflows/fuzzy-ci.yml#L42-L49

on line 42, we specify irmin 3.10.0 and on line 48/49 we specify ocaml.5.4.0
but if you check the opam.locked file for irmin 3.10.0 you will see it used ocaml 5.3.0

https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/blob/main/.github/fuzzy-ci-helpers/irmin.3.10.0.opam.locked#L43

so I think this is why the ci fails with Unknown OCaml version 5.4.0 probably ppxlib which is a dependency of irmin from the locked file of irmin was compiled with 5.3.0

if you see the release notes:
ppxlib has support for ocaml 5.4 in v0.37.0

https://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ppxlib/releases/tag/0.37.0

our pin depends for the ci:
https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/blob/main/.github/fuzzy-ci-helpers/irmin.3.10.0.opam.locked#L260-L261
pins ppxlib to 0.35.0

After a few attempts, I was unable to get irmin.3.10.0 to use ocaml.5.4.0 due to some package conflicts.
It appears that due to the dependency of ppx_repr, it requires ppxlib < 0.36.0, which is incompatible with ocaml.5.4.0.

I am not sure about what to do.

[voodoos]

One option is to wait for ppx_repr to be compatible with ppxlib >= 0.36.0. There is a PR opened: mirage/repr#110

We could try to pin it too.

[Lucccyo]

As ppx_repr has been merged (mirage/repr#110), we can now have irmin.3.10.0 on ocaml.5.4.0.
New PR that runs the CI now succeeds on #2004, for example. To be sure, we need to verify if rerunning the tests fixes the issue on #1985.

[voodoos]

We are still waiting for the imminent (🌤️ @Julow ☀️) release of OCamlformat 0.28.2 for #1985.

Also #2004 does not run the fuzzy CI, so I don't think it's impacted anyway ?
