Metadata

  • Branch: feat/ci-docs-only-conditional-execution
  • Commit Message: feat(ci): skip full suite for documentation-only pull requests
  • Milestone: Backlog (see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #1678

Description

The CI pipeline currently runs all checks for every change, which is inefficient for pull requests that only modify documentation (e.g., files in the docs/ directory or with a .md extension). This wastes CI resources and increases the time to merge documentation updates.

This proposal is to introduce a mechanism that detects documentation-only changes and, in such cases, runs only the docs nox session. This will significantly speed up the CI process for documentation-related pull requests.

Subtasks

  • Implement a script or CI workflow step to identify if a pull request contains only documentation changes.
  • Modify the CI workflow to conditionally run only the docs nox session for such pull requests.
  • Ensure that the full CI suite runs for all other types of changes.
  • Update features/ci_workflow_validation.feature to assert the conditional execution logic is present and correct.
  • Verify all nox stages pass after changes.
  • Confirm coverage ≥ 97%.

Definition of Done

  • The CI pipeline correctly identifies documentation-only pull requests.
  • For documentation-only pull requests, only the docs nox session is executed.
  • The full CI suite runs for all other pull requests.
  • The change is documented in the project's development guide.
  • features/ci_workflow_validation.feature covers the new conditional execution logic.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage ≥ 97%.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.8.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
