Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Improved end-to-end build workflows by compiling only the components required for those tests.
    • Updated CI caching and Rust build settings to improve build consistency and performance.
    • Refined dependency installation during Python development setup.
    • Adjusted Rust test workflows to avoid running unrelated workspace packages.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CI now uses a targeted end-to-end Rust build, cached Rust setup for Python workflows, and narrower Rust workspace test scopes.

Changes

CI workflow updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Targeted end-to-end build
Makefile, .github/workflows/external-tests.yml
The build-e2e target builds the fff-nvim and fff-c release crates with the zlob feature. The e2e workflow invokes this target.
Python workflow Rust setup
.github/workflows/python.yml
The workflow adds thin LTO and 16 codegen units, enables Rust toolchain caching, and skips project installation before maturin develop.
Narrowed Rust test scope
Makefile, .github/workflows/rust.yml
Rust workspace tests exclude both fff-nvim and fff-python.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7b286

The CI workflow leaves the Rust job without an explicit read-only token scope, so repository defaults could grant broader write access than necessary; merge readiness is moderate until the permission is constrained or explicitly accepted.

This workflow has no permissions block. It can inherit write-capable defaults. Add permissions: contents: read at workflow or job scope. Do not rely on repository defaults.

50 checks passed
dmtrKovalenko added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 16, 2026
`make test-lua`, `test-c-smoke` and `prepare-bun`/`prepare-node` all
depended on `build` (full workspace), so the `build-e2e` step added in
#782 was thrown away and the job built everything two or three times.

Cargo resolves features per invocation, so a different `-p` set is not
just a superset of work: fff-nvim enables `fff/mimalloc-collect`, which
re-resolves fff-search and rebuilds it plus ~30 crates from scratch.
On the 4-core Windows runner that was 19m47s + 23m13s + 3m32s of
compiling per run.

Point every e2e target at the single `build-e2e` invocation so cargo
compiles once and the later steps are no-ops.
