Metadata

  • Branch: task/ci-execution-time-parallelize-jobs
  • Commit Message: chore(ci): parallelize lint, typecheck, security, and quality jobs using matrix strategy
  • Milestone: N/A — Backlog (see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #1678

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.2.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Summary

The CI pipeline runs the lint, typecheck, security, and quality jobs sequentially. These jobs are independent of one another and could be executed in parallel, significantly reducing the overall pipeline wall-clock time.

Current Behavior

The lint, typecheck, security, and quality jobs in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml are defined as sequential steps or jobs with no parallelism. Each job waits for the previous one to complete before starting, even though there are no data dependencies between them.

Expected Behavior

The lint, typecheck, security, and quality jobs should run in parallel using a matrix build strategy (or as independent parallel jobs). This will reduce the overall CI execution time proportionally to the longest of the four jobs rather than their sum.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The lint, typecheck, security, and quality jobs are run in parallel.
  • No job depends on another unless a true data dependency exists.
  • The overall CI execution time for a standard push is measurably reduced.
  • The parallelization strategy is documented with a comment in the workflow file.
  • All existing CI checks continue to pass after the restructuring.

Supporting Information

  • Related issues: #7421 (Run E2E tests on a less frequent schedule), #7216 (Review and optimize CI job dependencies), #7195 (Parallelize unit and integration test suites), #7187 (Consolidate redundant CI setup steps).
  • Parent Epic #1678 tracks the broader CI execution time optimization effort.

Subtasks

  • Audit .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml to identify all jobs that can safely run in parallel.
  • Restructure the workflow to run lint, typecheck, security, and quality as parallel jobs (matrix or independent job definitions).
  • Add comments in the workflow file explaining the parallelization rationale.
  • Update features/ci_workflow_validation.feature to assert the parallel job structure is present.
  • Verify the updated workflow triggers correctly in a test branch.
  • 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, 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.
  • 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%
