ci: run only the backport-batch tests for a backport-batch change - #5287
PR touching only cmd/backport-batch was treated as code change, so it rebuilt every image, installed platform in e2e sandbox and ran full chainsaw suite plus whole unit lane. #5283 (one-line test fix) spent 3.5 hours in that e2e and hit job timeout. And backport-batch go tests were running on every code PR, whatever it touched.
plan job code output is now false when every changed path is under docs/, cmd/backport-batch/ or cmd/api-gate/ (CI-only tools, no image builds them). Builds, finalize and e2e are skipped and E2E Tests posted green, same as for docs-only PRs. e2e-fork.yaml skips on same prefixes, hack/gate-concurrency-contract.bats fails if two lists diverge.
hack/build-matrix.sh and hack/select-e2e.sh don't escalate to full rebuild or full suite because of these two dirs, so mixed PR is scoped by its other paths. Other cmd/ dirs still escalate.
test-backport-batch removed from make unit-tests. Checks job runs it only when diff touches path from cmd/backport-batch/test-inputs.txt (tool itself, in-repo packages it imports, docs pages its tests read, go.mod, go.sum). TestInputsListed compares this list with go list -deps -test and fails when import is missing there.
new docs output keeps bats lane for docs changes and drops it for tool-only ones.
ci: changes only in docs/, cmd/backport-batch/ or cmd/api-gate/ don't build images and don't run e2e anymore, backport-batch tests run only when their inputs change.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
CI now skips builds, E2E tests, and full-pipeline checks for changes limited to documentation and designated CI-only tools.
Backport-batch tests run when relevant files change, without being included in the general unit-test target.
Changes to other command-line tools continue to trigger the appropriate build and E2E checks.
Documentation
Clarified how documentation, dashboard, and backport-batch changes affect test selection.
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.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The pull-request workflows now classify documentation and CI-only Go tool changes separately, select backport-batch tests from declared inputs, and exclude the listed tools from build and E2E selection.
Changes: CI path classification and test routing

Summary
Define backport-batch test inputs and selection cmd/backport-batch/test-inputs.txt, cmd/backport-batch/inputs_test.go, hack/backport-batch-tests-needed.sh, hack/backport-batch-tests-needed.bats
The input list identifies paths that select the backport-batch test suite. The checker matches exact paths or directory prefixes. Go and Bats tests cover input validity, matching, and dependency coverage.
The plan exports docs and backport_batch outputs. The checks job runs the backport-batch suite when selected and runs the docs-only Bats lane when code is false and docs is true. unit-tests no longer includes the backport-batch suite.
Exclude CI-only tools from build and E2E selection .github/workflows/e2e-fork.yaml, .github/workflows/pull-requests.yaml, hack/build-matrix.sh, hack/build-matrix_test.bats, hack/select-e2e.sh, hack/select-e2e_test.bats, hack/gate-concurrency-contract.bats, docs/agents/e2e-testing.md
The build matrix, E2E selector, and fork resolver treat cmd/backport-batch/ and cmd/api-gate/ as CI-only paths. Tests cover path selection, rename handling, and agreement between selector prefixes.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 8d290
Pull-request CI now classifies documentation and CI-only tool changes separately and runs the backport-batch tests only when their declared inputs change. Those tests are no longer hidden by an earlier unit-test failure. No remaining merge-blocking risk was identified.

Explanation
The title "ci: run only the backport-batch tests for a backport-batch change" matches the main change. The PR adds a test-inputs list and a classifier script. It runs the backport-batch suite in the checks job only when listed inputs change, and removes it from unit-tests. The PR also excludes cmd/backport-batch/ and cmd/api-gate/ from image builds and e2e runs. The title covers the core test-selection change but does not mention the broader docs and build/e2e skip behavior.

test lanes fail, while still skipping on cancellation and requiring
backport_batch to be true. Update the matching condition assertion in the

myasnikovdaniil NOT LGTM. Please keep the commit bodies to the problem and rationale, without walking through the implementation. Evidence: a5b0d1d5cd02 says "build-matrix.sh drops the two directories before its full-rebuild check", and 5fcdc33cd553 has two paragraphs explaining the plan outputs, selector wiring and test-target extraction. The contributing rules explicitly make that a review blocker.
The change avoids runtime builds and E2E for CI-only tools while keeping their own tests selected. The routing checks I ran pass; I found no confirmed routing bug. Required E2E is still pending.

myasnikovdaniil The commit-message blocker is fixed. I found no further blocker in the routing change. The focused classifier and input checks pass, but required E2E is still pending, so I am not approving yet.

myasnikovdaniil Both of your commits are patch-identical to what I reviewed, so the code part is done. One thing blocks the merge now. When #5288 merged, GitHub rebased this branch and put an empty commit c6225856f2c9 under yours, titled "ci(e2e): raise the E2E job limit from 215 to 265 minutes (#5288)". It has no Signed-off-by, so the required DCO check is red. Please drop that commit and force-push. E2E is still running on this head; I'll approve once DCO and E2E are green.
cmd/backport-batch and cmd/api-gate are built into no image and run
nowhere in the e2e sandbox, yet a change to either rebuilt every image
and ran the full Chainsaw suite, and widened a package change made in
the same pull request to everything. Every other directory under cmd/
is a shipped binary and keeps escalating.

A pull request that changed only cmd/backport-batch built every image,
installed the platform for e2e and ran the whole unit lane, so a
one-line test fix waited hours on suites that cannot exercise it. The
backport-batch tests themselves ran on every code pull request,
although only a change to the tool, to what it imports or to the pages
its tests read can break them.
Their inputs are listed beside the tool and checked against its import
graph, because a hand-kept list that fell behind would switch the
tests off without anyone noticing.

myasnikovdaniil LGTM, CI and E2E are green on this head. I merged main into the branch: the Makefile comment above test-backport-batch now keeps both the reason from main and your note on when the checks job runs it.
