Metadata

Branch: task/ci-pipeline-conditional-test-execution
Commit Message: chore(ci): implement conditional test execution to reduce pipeline runtime
Milestone: Backlog (see note below)
Parent Epic: #1678

Description

The current CI pipeline runs all tests on every commit, which can be inefficient. For example, if only the documentation is changed, there is no need to run the unit and integration tests.

This task is to implement a strategy to run only affected test suites based on the changes in a commit. This will reduce the CI execution time and provide faster feedback to developers.

Subtasks

Investigate different strategies for conditional test execution.
Implement a mechanism to identify the changed files in a commit.
Modify the CI configuration to run only the affected test suites.

Definition of Done

The CI pipeline is configured to run only the affected test suites.
The CI execution time is significantly reduced for changes that do not affect the entire codebase.
The changes are documented in the project's documentation.
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.

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Backlog — CI optimization task. Does not affect correctness.
Story Points: 5 — L — Requires investigating strategies, implementing file change detection, modifying CI config, and documenting the approach.
MoSCoW: Could Have — This is a CI performance optimization. All tests still run correctly; they just run on every commit regardless of what changed. Nice to have for developer velocity but not blocking any milestone.
