Metadata

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.5.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Summary

During an analysis of CI execution times, it was observed that pull request #4427, a merge commit titled 'Merge branch 'master' into feature/m3-actor-schema-examples', had a CI run time of over 1.5 hours (1h 39m 6s). This suggests that the CI/CD pipeline may not be well-optimized for handling large changes, such as those introduced by a merge commit.

This task is to investigate the performance of the CI pipeline when handling large changes and identify opportunities for optimization. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Analyzing the CI pipeline to identify bottlenecks when processing large changes.
  • Investigating opportunities for caching dependencies and build artifacts.
  • Implementing strategies for parallelizing test execution.
  • Investigating the use of incremental builds and tests.

Subtasks

  • Analyze the CI pipeline to identify performance bottlenecks when handling large changes.
  • Propose a plan for optimizing the CI pipeline for large changes.
  • Implement the proposed optimizations.
  • Verify that the optimizations have improved the CI execution time.

Definition of Done

  • The performance of the CI pipeline when handling large changes has been analyzed and bottlenecks have been identified.
  • A plan for optimizing the CI pipeline for large changes has been created and implemented.
  • The CI execution time for large changes has been significantly reduced.
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Hierarchical Compliance Fix: This issue was previously linked to Epic #2810 which has State/Duplicate label and is effectively inactive.

Solution: Added link to Epic #5407 (EPIC: Testing Infrastructure Improvements — Coverage, CI Pipeline, Dependencies & Test Levels) as the active parent epic for this CI execution time optimization task.

Hierarchy: Issue #7853 → Epic #5407 → Legendary #5406 (Testing Infrastructure & Quality Hardening)

Next Steps: This issue is now properly structured with an active parent epic and ready for implementation.
