Problem

Several expensive CI jobs run on every PR regardless of what changed. A PR that only modifies .opencode/agents/ markdown files or docs/ currently triggers a 60–90 minute pipeline with no signal value from most of those jobs.

Job	Est. Duration	Unnecessary on docs/agents PRs
`e2e_tests`	30–45 min	Yes
`integration_tests`	~15 min	Yes
`docker`	~5 min	Yes
`helm`	~2 min	Yes (unless `k8s/` changed)

Proposed Fix

Add paths: filters to each job so they only trigger when relevant files change:

# e2e_tests and integration_tests: only when product code or test files change
paths:
  - 'src/**'
  - 'robot/**'
  - 'features/**'
  - 'pyproject.toml'

# docker: only when Dockerfiles or source change
paths:
  - 'src/**'
  - 'Dockerfile'
  - 'Dockerfile.server'
  - 'pyproject.toml'

# helm: only when Kubernetes manifests change
paths:
  - 'k8s/**'

A docs-only or agents-only PR should run lint, typecheck, build, and push-validation only.

Estimated Saving

~45 min saved on docs/agents PRs from skipping e2e_tests
~15 min saved from skipping integration_tests
~7 min saved from skipping docker + helm
Total: ~1 hr 7 min per docs/agents PR

This issue is a proposal awaiting human review (needs feedback label). I will not modify its state — a human must approve or reject it.

This proposal addresses unnecessary CI job execution: several expensive jobs (e2e_tests, integration_tests, docker, helm) currently run on every PR regardless of what changed. Adding paths: filters would save ~1 hr 7 min on docs/agents-only PRs by skipping jobs with no signal value for those changes.

This is assigned to @freemo for review and decision.

Issue verified and triaged:

Priority: Medium — saves ~67 min on docs/agents-only PRs, but not blocking current development
Type: Task — CI pipeline improvement
Story Points: 3 (M) — requires careful path filter design to avoid accidentally skipping tests when they should run; moderate complexity
State: Verified — ready for implementation

Adding paths: filters to e2e_tests, integration_tests, docker, and helm jobs is a well-understood CI pattern. The main risk is over-filtering — care must be taken to ensure filters don't skip tests when source code changes. The proposed approach is sound.

This issue is now in the backlog and ready for implementation.

Label compliance fix applied:

Added missing label: MoSCoW/Should have
Reason: Issue is in State/Verified but was missing a MoSCoW classification. Applied MoSCoW/Should have based on CI improvement task type and medium priority.

Note: MoSCoW labels are normally set by the project owner. If this classification is incorrect, please update accordingly.
