What and why?
All three CI jobs (
unit-test,e2e,lint) were running onmq-working-branch-*pushes triggered by the merge queue. These branches are safe to skip given the repo's contribution level, so we skip the jobs there to save CI minutes.The
push: branches: mq-working-branch-*trigger must stay so GitHub's merge queue sees a workflow run and can mark required checks as "skipped" (rather than "missing", which would block the queue).How?
Added
if: ${{ !startsWith(github.ref_name, 'mq-working-branch-') }}at the job level on all three jobs. When triggered by a merge queue branch the condition is false → jobs skip. For normal PR branches the condition is true → jobs run as before.
