The cases where the tests are failing seem to be because of fairly small differences in the resulting optimal parameters for various optimisations/calibrations (except for maybe test_flux_signal, where the differences are on the order of ~10%). What should I do to deal with this? Create new parameter files? @lazyoracle

In general, failing tests should not be modified to get them to pass. Do you possibly have some insight on why the optimal parameters changed? If however the change in the test optimal parameters is expected as a result of the code change in the PR, then feel free to just modify the parameters and move on. Make sure to note in your commit message the reasoning behind why the test was modified.

With optimization results, it can be tricky when the convention changed. An alternative to what Anurag suggested would be to change the gate definitions in those tests from phase -> -phase to recreate the previous behavior. Then add a note that the convention here goes the "wrong" way. If this does not work, something else is wrong.
