The regular expression for it is configured here:

https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config/src/commit/6b12602/zuul.d/pipelines.yaml#L24

What I usually do is "recheck because of nondeterminism in test foo"
(or whatever the reason).

Don't prepend anything before the word "recheck" and also follow the
word with a space before you add any other text. I think Zuul must
assume a required space after the regular expression since that
doesn't seem to be encoded in the regex you see there. Make sure the
"recheck" appears on the very first line of the comment too. Aside
from that, you can add anything you like after it.

Switching in/out of WIP and leaving votes at the same time as the
recheck should also be avoided as they seem to cause the expression
not to match.
