Metadata

Branch: task/ci-parallelize-jobs-pipeline-speed
Commit Message: ci(pipeline): parallelize independent CI jobs to reduce overall pipeline execution time
Milestone: v3.7.0
Parent Epic: (to be linked — see orphan notice below)

Background and Context

The current CI pipeline in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml runs most jobs sequentially. This slows down the pipeline unnecessarily. Many jobs — such as lint, typecheck, security, quality, unit_tests, and integration_tests — are independent of each other and can be run in parallel. Reducing pipeline execution time improves developer feedback loops and CI resource utilisation.

Subtasks

Analyze the dependencies between all jobs in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml
Identify which jobs are truly independent and can run in parallel without ordering constraints
Modify ci.yml to run independent jobs (e.g. lint, typecheck, security, quality) in parallel
Use the needs keyword to define correct execution order for jobs that have genuine dependencies (e.g. coverage, docker depending on test jobs)
Validate that no circular or unintended blocking dependencies are introduced
Trigger a CI run to confirm the new parallel configuration executes successfully
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks above are completed and checked off
The CI pipeline runs successfully end-to-end with the new parallel configuration
The overall pipeline execution time is measurably reduced compared to the sequential baseline
The ci.yml file is updated to reflect the new parallel execution flow with correct needs declarations
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged
All nox stages pass
Coverage >= 97%

⚠️ Orphan Notice: No parent TEST-INFRA Epic was found in the repository. This issue requires manual linking to an appropriate parent Epic by the project owner before work begins.

⚠️ Orphan Issue — Manual Linking Required

This issue was created without a parent Epic because no TEST-INFRA or CI-pipeline-design Epic currently exists in the repository. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, orphan issues are not permitted — every issue must be linked to a parent Epic.

Action required by project owner:

Identify or create an appropriate parent Epic for TEST-INFRA / CI pipeline improvement work.
Link this issue as a child of that Epic using Forgejo's dependency system (this issue should block the parent Epic).

The dependency link should be created as:

POST /api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/issues/1650/blocks
{ "dependency_id": <PARENT_EPIC_NUMBER> }

Closing as duplicate. CI parallelization and execution time improvements are tracked in #1604 (setup consolidation), #1536 (parallelize static analysis), and #1632 (split integration tests).
