Metadata

  • Branch: chore/m6-ci-pipeline-parallelism
  • Commit Message: chore(ci): parallelize lint and typecheck jobs in CI pipeline
  • Milestone: v3.5.0
  • Parent Epic: #376

Background and Context

The .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml workflow defines separate jobs for lint and typecheck. These jobs are currently executed sequentially, but they are independent of each other and could be run in parallel to reduce overall CI pipeline duration. Faster CI feedback loops improve developer productivity and reduce time-to-merge.

Current Behavior

The lint and typecheck jobs in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml run sequentially, meaning each job must wait for the previous one to complete before starting — even though there is no dependency between them.

Expected Behavior

The lint and typecheck jobs (and any other independent jobs) should run in parallel, reducing total CI pipeline wall-clock time.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The lint and typecheck jobs in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml are configured to run in parallel (no sequential dependency between them).
  • An audit of all CI jobs is performed to identify any other jobs that can be safely parallelized.
  • Any additional parallelizable jobs are updated accordingly.
  • The CI pipeline passes successfully after the changes.
  • Total CI pipeline duration is measurably reduced.

Supporting Information

  • Affected file: .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml
  • Forgejo Actions supports parallel job execution via independent job definitions (jobs without needs: dependencies on each other).

Subtasks

  • Audit .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml to map all job dependencies and identify which jobs are independent
  • Remove or restructure any unnecessary sequential needs: constraints between lint and typecheck
  • Identify and parallelize any other independent jobs found during the audit
  • Validate the updated workflow locally or via a test branch CI run
  • Confirm all CI checks pass with the new parallel configuration
  • 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.
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly (chore(ci): parallelize lint and typecheck jobs in CI pipeline), followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly (chore/m6-ci-pipeline-parallelism).
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High (confirmed) — Parallelizing independent CI jobs is a straightforward optimization.
  • Milestone: v3.5.0 (already assigned — though this is a CI optimization, not an autonomy hardening feature)
  • MoSCoW: Could Have — CI job parallelism is a performance optimization. The pipeline works correctly sequentially; this reduces wall-clock time. Note: This may overlap with #2026 ("Run nox sessions in parallel"). Check for potential duplication.
  • Parent Epic: #376 (confirmed correct)
