🟡 API contract changes bypass validation
When the API contract changes alone, docs/** skips both workflows running the contract test. An incomplete public contract can merge unchallenged.
Prompt for agents
The docs/** path exclusion in .github/workflows/test-fast.yaml and .github/workflows/test-suite.yaml also excludes docs/product/kaefa-core-api-contract.md, but tests/testthat/test-core-api-contract.R consumes that document and verifies it lists all pilot-facing and legacy exports. Preserve docs-only CI savings while ensuring this contract test runs whenever its document changes. Possible approaches include exempting this file from the filtering strategy or adding a lightweight documentation-contract job with a matching path trigger.

🔍 CI trigger documentation is stale
The repository requires architecture updates for CI gate changes. These new exclusions leave the documented gate behavior incomplete.

🔍 Nested Markdown still triggers CI
*.md excludes only root Markdown. Documentation under examples/, inst/, and tests/ still starts all three workflows.

📝 Info: README source remains covered
README.Rmd does not match *.md. Proper source-and-generated README updates therefore continue to run all three workflows.

at lines 8 and 13, .github/workflows/test-fast.yaml at lines 8 and 13, and

GitHub Actions workflow syntax paths-ignore skipped required checks pending status check official documentation
💡 Result:
According to official GitHub documentation, if a workflow is skipped due to path filtering (using paths or paths-ignore), branch filtering, or commit message instructions (like [skip ci]), any status checks associated with that workflow will remain in a "Pending" state [1][2][3]. If your repository requires those specific checks to pass as part of its branch protection rules, the pull request will be blocked from merging because the check never reports a success [1][4]. To resolve this "pending" deadlock, the official recommendation and common community practice is to avoid marking workflows as required if they can be skipped [1][5]. If you must keep the check as required, you can implement a "passthrough" or "fallback" workflow that handles the scenario where the primary workflow is skipped [1][4][6]. This workaround involves creating a separate, lightweight workflow with the exact same name as the job in your original workflow [4][6]. Configure this fallback workflow to trigger when the primary one is ignored (e.g., using the inverse paths-ignore or paths logic) and have it return a successful status immediately [4][6][7]. Because it uses the same job name, GitHub will recognize it as satisfying the required status check requirement when the primary workflow does not run [4][6]. Key points to remember: * Ensure the name of the job matches exactly between the primary and fallback workflows [4]. * If you use reusable workflows, both the primary and fallback workflows must call the same reusable workflow (or neither should) for them to be recognized as the same check [5]. * Alternatively, consider avoiding path filters on any workflow that is designated as a required check [5][6]. Instead, move the conditional logic inside the workflow steps (using if conditions), allowing the workflow to run but exit with a "success" status even if no action is required [6][8].

GitHub Actions workflow syntax paths-ignore pattern *.md **.md nested directories glob documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the paths and paths-ignore filters support glob patterns to control when a workflow runs based on the files changed in a push or pull request [1][2][3]. Key Syntax and Glob Behavior - *: Matches zero or more characters within a single path segment (i.e., it does not cross directory boundaries) [4]. - ``: Matches zero or more directories recursively [4]. This is the correct way to include or exclude files in nested directories [3][4]. - *.md: Matches Markdown files only in the root directory of the repository [4]. - `.md`: Matches all Markdown files in the root directory and in any nested directory recursively [4]. Usage Rules - Scope: `paths` and `paths-ignore` only apply to `push` and `pull_request` events; they have no effect on other events like `workflow_dispatch` or `schedule` [3]. - Exclusive Filters: You cannot use both `paths` and `paths-ignore` for the same event in a single workflow file [1][3]. If you need to both include and exclude files, use `paths` and apply the `!` (negation) operator to the patterns you wish to exclude [1][5]. - Negation Logic: When using `!`, the order of patterns matters [1][5]. A pattern prefixed with `!` excludes the path [1][5]. If a positive pattern follows a negative one, the path is included again [1][5]. - Invalid Patterns: The filters support a specific subset of glob syntax [6]. Avoid complex shell-only constructs like brace expansion (e.g., `.{js,ts}`), which will cause an "Invalid pattern" error; list such patterns as separate entries instead [6]. Best Practices - To ignore all Markdown files in a repository regardless of their depth, use `paths-ignore: ['.md']` [4]. - If you need to trigger on all Markdown files except a specific one, use `paths: ['.md', '!/ignore.md']` [4]. - Always test your patterns against a representative set of file changes to ensure the glob matches your intended file structure [3][6].
