## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Each beta release ends with a pull request that adds one release notes file under `releases/` > - PR CI runs the full build, test, and e2e matrix for that pull request > - No build, test, or e2e lane reads `releases/v*.md` or `releases/beta/v*.md` > - The full matrix takes about 30 minutes, and lost runners or flaky e2e specs can make it run again > - This pull request lets the existing CI scope gate skip the heavy lanes when a pull request changes only release notes > - The benefit is that release notes pull requests get a green result in minutes, and code pull requests keep full CI ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Issue type** CI efficiency enhancement. **Where is the issue?** The `Select stacked PR CI scope` step in `.github/workflows/ci-routing.yml`. This step sets the `full_ci` output for PR CI. **What's wrong?** The step sets `full_ci=false` only for middle pull requests in a stack. A pull request that changes only one release notes markdown file runs the full matrix. For example, #16053 changed one file in `releases/beta/`. Its CI ran two times: on the first run, 8 shards lost their runners, and on the second run, one Playwright spec flaked and needed a rerun. **Suggested fix** Read the pull request diff from the GitHub compare API in the scope step. When every changed path is release notes, set `full_ci=false`. The callers already support this value. I found no open pull request or issue for this change. ## What Changed - `ci-routing.yml`: the scope step (renamed to `Select PR CI scope`) also sets `full_ci=false` when every path in the diff matches `releases/v*.md` or `releases/beta/v*.md`. - The step reads the diff from `compare/<event base SHA>...<event head SHA>`. The SHAs come from the event, so a later push cannot change the decision for this run. - For a renamed file, the step checks the old path and the new path. - The step keeps full CI when the event is not `pull_request`, a SHA is malformed, the API call fails, the diff is empty, or the file list has 300 entries. The compare API can truncate a list at 300 entries. - The step does not change the stacked pull request rules. It checks the paths only when the stack rules select full CI. - `ci-routing.test.mjs`: the GitHub stub now returns `files` for compare calls. 17 new cases cover release notes paths, mixed diffs, renames, non-markdown files, nested folders, empty and truncated lists, API failure, non-PR events, malformed SHAs, and stack interaction. - `e2e-shard.test.mjs`: the test now uses the new step name. - `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: added a short description of the CI scope rules. ## Verification - `node --test .github/scripts/tests/ci-routing.test.mjs scripts/__tests__/e2e-shard.test.mjs`: 73 pass, 0 fail. - `node --test '.github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs'`: all pass. - I ran the jq filter on real compare API responses. #16053 (one file in `releases/beta/`) returns `true`. #16082 (10 files) returns `false`. - After merge: open a pull request that changes only a `releases/beta/v*.md` file. The `Select trusted runner` job shows the notice `release notes only; full_ci=false`. The heavy lanes show as skipped. The `policy`, `verify`, and `e2e` checks pass. Note: `pr.yml` calls `pr-trusted.yml@master`, and that workflow calls `ci-routing.yml@master`. This pull request does not change its own CI run. The change applies after merge. ## Risks - Low risk. The skip uses the existing `full_ci=false` path. The `verify` and `e2e` aggregate checks already accept that value, and the `policy` job always runs. - A future job that reads release notes files would not run for notes-only pull requests. Today, only the release workflows read these files, and those workflows do not run on pull requests. - The step now uses `GH_TOKEN` to call one more read-only API endpoint. The workflow still does not check out or run pull request code, and its permissions do not change. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic.
