Three CI improvements, one per commit.

Run PR checks on stacked PRs

Tests, code quality, and the Development merge check only ran for PRs targeting main. A PR stacked on another feature branch, such as #383 on #385, got no tests or quality gates. Its merge check also stayed red after it landed in Development, because the refresh after a Development push listed only PRs into main.

  • Tests and code quality now run on PRs into any base. The quality baselines already compare against the PR's own base.
  • The merge check now runs on PRs into any base except Development.
  • After a Development push, red merge checks on every open PR are re-run.

Skip C# and Vue checks a PR does not touch

A new composite action, .github/actions/changed-stacks, diffs the PR against its base and reports csharp and vue flags. Heavy jobs skip when their stack is untouched:

Changes Runs
web/, test/, Viper.sln*, Directory.Build.props, global.json, .config/ Backend Tests, ReSharper gate, JSCPD (C#), CodeQL C# and JS
VueApp/, ESLint/oxlint/stylelint configs, .env* Frontend Tests, Fallow, JSCPD (Vue), CodeQL JS
Root package*.json, scripts/, .editorconfig, the workflow's own file, the action itself Both
Docs or other workflow files Neither

Pushes to main and the weekly CodeQL schedule still run everything. A job skipped by if: counts as passing, so it can't block a merge if it becomes a required check.

Review WIP-titled PRs with CodeRabbit

main's branch protection now requires the CodeRabbit check, alongside the existing conversation-resolution rule. A PR CodeRabbit skips for a WIP title would never get that check, so the title exclusion is removed from .coderabbit.yaml.

Dependabot PRs are still ignored (no CodeRabbit license for that author), so an admin merges them with "Merge without waiting for requirements".

- Run tests and code quality on PRs into any base, not only main
- Evaluate the Development merge check on stacked PRs
- Refresh red merge checks on every open PR after a Development push

Note

Reviews paused

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Use the following commands to manage reviews:

  • @coderabbitai resume to resume automatic reviews.
  • @coderabbitai review to trigger a single review.

Use the checkboxes below for quick actions:

  • Resume reviews
  • Trigger review

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough

Workflows detect C# and Vue changes to select checks and CodeQL analysis. A new CodeRabbit gate checks review status and can rerun failed gate runs. CodeRabbit settings and development merge-check coverage also change.

Changes: Stack-aware CI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stack detection and workflow wiring
.github/actions/changed-stacks/action.yml, .github/workflows/code-quality.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml
A composite action compares changed paths with shared and stack-specific patterns, then exposes C# and Vue outputs. The test, code-quality, and CodeQL workflows run the action with full history.
Conditional checks and analysis
.github/workflows/code-quality.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml
Test and code-quality jobs run according to their stack outputs. CodeQL steps run for C# changes or for JavaScript matrix runs when Vue changes. The code-quality pull-request trigger and tests push trigger are no longer limited to main.

CodeRabbit review gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
CodeRabbit review gate
.github/workflows/coderabbit-gate.yml
The workflow responds to pull-request, review, and completed check-run events. It requires a successful CodeRabbit check run, fails when an unresolved review thread’s first comment is authored by coderabbitai, and can rerun a matching failed workflow run.
CodeRabbit settings
.coderabbit.yaml
The settings enable the request-changes workflow and remove WIP from ignored title keywords.

Development merge-check coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pull-request scope and refresh
.github/workflows/development-merge-check.yml
The pull-request trigger ignores Development instead of targeting only main. The refresh step lists open pull requests across base branches.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to a429f

This CI-only change can occasionally leave an advisory or gate check stale or skipped, for example after a PR retarget, when two PRs share a head commit, or when CodeRabbit finishes late. Merging is acceptable, but the owner should be aware of these edge cases.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is related to the changeset. It explains the three CI changes: running PR checks on stacked PRs, skipping C# and Vue jobs with a changed-stacks action, and adding CodeRabbit review and gate changes. It matches the raw summary and the PR objectives.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title uses the Conventional Commits form with type chore and scope ci. The subject is 'GitHub Actions improvements', which is 38 characters. The title names the CI scope, but the subject is vague. It does not name the main change, which adds a changed-stacks action and skips jobs, re-runs merge checks, and removes a WIP exclusion. The title also uses 'improvements' rather than an imperative verb, so it breaks the subject rule. No JIRA key is required because the branch does not name a ticket in the provided context.

Resolution

Rewrite the subject as an imperative that names the main change. Example: 'chore(ci): run stack-aware checks on stacked PRs'. Keep the subject at 72 characters or fewer, with no trailing period.

Match refresh runs to PRs, not only head SHAs.

If the same branch has PRs into main and another base, both PRs have the same head SHA. This map retains only one run, so the refresh can rerun that run twice and leave the other PR’s check red. Match each run to its PR and head SHA. Pull-request runs use PR-specific merge refs. (docs.github.com)

action so changes to .github/codeql/codeql-config.yml mark the CodeQL workflow

WORKFLOW_FILE logic, and preserve the current stack-specific matching behavior.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/code-quality.yml:
- Around line 22-24: Update the changes job to declare contents: read
permissions and set persist-credentials to false on its actions/checkout step
while preserving fetch-depth: 0. Apply the same least-privilege permissions to
the changes jobs in the tests and CodeQL workflows.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/coderabbit-gate.yml:
- Around line 33-35: Update the review lookup that sets verdict to compare each
CodeRabbit review’s commit_id with the pull request’s current head SHA, and
allow only an APPROVED review for that commit to pass the gate. Keep the
existing bot and review-state filters so approvals for earlier commits cannot
satisfy the check.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/development-merge-check.yml:
- Line 24: Update the pull request event types in the development merge check
workflow to include edited, preserving all existing event types so the check
runs when a PR’s base branch changes.

Rerun tests when the PR base changes.

If the old base contains the PR’s C# or Vue changes, the corresponding job can be skipped. Retargeting to a base without those changes does not rerun detection, so the new PR merge can remain untested. Add edited to this workflow’s PR events.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Do not let an earlier approval override later findings.

The any(...) query accepts an approval even if CodeRabbit subsequently requests changes on the same head commit. The early exit also skips unresolved-thread checks. Use the latest applicable verdict and check unresolved threads before passing. This is distinct from the previously fixed approval-on-an-older-commit issue: both reviews can reference HEAD_SHA. GitHub exposes review states and commit IDs in the reviews response. (docs.github.com)

@bsedwards @bniedzie @JasonRobertFrancis I made some changes to the GitHub PR workflow:

  1. This PR will remove unnecessary checks. For changes that affect only the backend or frontend, do not run linting or testing for the other side. For doc-only changes, no linting or tests are needed.
  2. Tests and linting were not being run for stacked PRs; this now changes that.
  3. I updated the branch rules to require an approval check from CodeRabbit AI.
  4. I added a requirement that PRs must be up to date with the latest main to be merged.
  5. I removed the trigger that dismissed stale PR approvals. Previously, when you updated a branch off the latest main or did some git cleanup, it would dismiss an approval. We are now keeping approvals.
