Default Cracked head between collant passages, fixable?

I pulled this gsr head from a swap I purchased and noticed that is a hairline crack between two coolant passages. It was assembled by a shop so I’m surprised (kinda) that they didn’t tell the guy his head was cracked. Long story short is the head repairable or do I really need to worry about it. I was thinking the repair would be easy to drop a few beads across the crack then get the head milled. I don’t think the hairline crack would really matter and unless you overheat the head it shouldn’t get worse but that’s a complete guess. I never ran a head with a hairline crack like that. Curious to see if anyone ever ran a head with a small crack like this. Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
