chore(.github/workflowsw): move `main` CI checks to merge queue runs #3887

darccio · 2025-08-18T17:38:22Z

What does this PR do?

Updates workflows so main CI checks happen during a merge queue run. Specifically it marks all workflows that run in push events to main to run on those events on branches starting with mq-working-branch.

Additionally:

Standardises pull_request triggers to explicitly set opened, reopened, and synchronized default states.
Standardises tags-ignore for push triggers to ignore all nested modules' version tags.
Removes merge_group triggers.
Removes synchronized event on pull-request-title-validation.
Updates Go version to the highest supported one on pull-request workflow.
Swaps main-branch-tests with pull-requests, making sure any flakiness is early detected.
main-branch-tests run only high-signal unit-integration-tests with a smaller set.
Fixes indentation on system-tests.
Introduces repository caching to avoid pulling it in matrix-based tests like system-tests, pull-request, or main-branch-tests.

Motivation

Clarify CI usage and ensure that failing CI checks have visibility and impact. Currently we can only see if anything is wrong on main by looking at the CI checks for a commit in GitHub's UI.

Note 1: this PR requires a small change on repository's settings to move the required checks PR Unit and Integration Tests / test-core and PR Unit and Integration Tests / test-contrib to PR Unit and Integration Tests.

Note 2: this PR would cause that no check will run if somebody with admin privileges doesn't use the merge queue. It should be possible to avoid that by setting some kind of break glass job that must run when merging directly from the UI. Merge queue should work by skipping it.

-      runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
-      ref: ${{ inputs.ref || github.ref }}
-    secrets: inherit
+      go-version: "1.25" # Should be the highest supported version of Go


Would be neat if that supported the stable alias?

That introduces the "risk" of having red CI if a new Go release causes the pipeline to fail. I prefer to have control, in the same line of the previous point about stating explicitly configs equivalent to the defaults.

Is it just me or I think this part in indented differently ?

It had extra indentation, that's why it was modified.
