A hotfix with 3 fixes paid the full 33min gate 3x in v3.8.48 (owner: '6h to
re-validate 3 fixes makes no sense'). Modeled on the Chromium/VS Code/Node
emergency lanes — skip WAITING, never validation:
- PRs labeled 'hotfix' (owner-applied; entry policy: production-broken only,
previous green heavy-run linked as evidence, cherry-pick-only scope — documented
in docs/ops/RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md) skip test-e2e (9 shards, the ~25min critical
path), test-coverage, quality-gate and quality-extended. Build, unit shards,
integration, vitest, lint bag, docs-sync, pack-artifact and the tarball
boot-smoke still run: green in ~15min.
- classify-pr-changes gains a testsOnly output: a diff entirely under tests/
with nothing in tests/e2e/ cannot change the served app, so the E2E matrix
skips automatically (changing an e2e spec still runs e2e).
TDD: 4 new classifier tests red->green; full-shape asserts aligned additively.
Collapse duplicate CI spend while keeping each gate's existence reason:
- quality.yml: TIA __RUN_ALL__ defers full unit to fast-unit 4-shard (#6781);
path filters via classify-pr-changes; docs-gates split; draft skip
- ci.yml: wire docs/i18n/code path filters; ESLint JSON artifact for quality-gate;
drop advisory typecheck:noimplicit; float actions/cache@v6
- TIA parity: memory/usage/combo/serial; **/*.test.mjs any depth; electron/bin
no longer force unit __RUN_ALL__
- check:complexity-ratchets: one ESLint walk, ruleId-isolated baselines + cache
- check:api-docs-refs + lib/apiRoutes: shared API route inventory
- husky pre-push: intentionally light (gates live in pre-commit); CLAUDE.md +
QUALITY_GATES.md docs synced
- collect-metrics / lint:json: path.resolve cache path; Windows-safe eslint bin
- env-doc allowlist for ESLINT_RESULTS_JSON / COMPLEXITY_ESLINT_REPORT
- release-green --full-ci expects check:api-docs-refs (not docs-symbols alone)
Tests: select-impacted, classify-pr-changes, api-routes lib, complexity-rule-count,
validate-release-green.
Reconciled after #6781 (fast-unit 2→4 shards) per maintainer request on #6716.
