When separate pushes reach the same branch in quick succession, the ref-level cancel-in-progress setting in this workflow cancels the first run. Comparing only the second event's before...after range means a documentation-only second push sets run-build-tests=false, even if the canceled first push contained source changes whose matrix never completed. The latest branch revision can therefore have no successful build or test coverage for those source changes; push classification must account for the last successfully tested revision or avoid canceling an in-flight build when its replacement will skip the matrix.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Confirmed and fixed in 2e2e88d. Push classification now compares the current revision with the last successful CI workflow run on the same branch, so the replacement run includes changes from any canceled in-flight run. A missing prior successful run or API error fails open to the full matrix.

When a change deletes or renames doc/README_windows.txt, this condition classifies both the old and new .txt paths as excluded, so the build matrix is skipped. However, that file is part of WINDOWS_PACKAGING in Makefile.am:60-63 and is embedded in the NSIS installer by share/setup.nsi.in:77; the source workflow validates it through make distdir, and the Windows configuration runs the deploy target. Since the remaining lint job exercises neither path, such a change can pass CI while breaking distribution or Windows installer creation, so this installer input should be exempted from the documentation exclusion.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Confirmed and fixed in 2e2e88d. Both Windows installer inputs, COPYING and doc/README_windows.txt, are now explicitly build-relevant, with focused classifier coverage.

When a change deletes or renames a tracked doc/man/*.1 file without updating the packaging rules, this suffix exclusion skips the build matrix even though doc/man/Makefile.am:3-25 lists those files in dist_man1_MANS. The source build runs make distdir at ci/dash/build_src.sh:34, which would catch the resulting missing distribution input, while the remaining lint job does not exercise that target; such a packaging-breaking change can therefore pass CI.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Confirmed and fixed in 5cde031 at the broader packaging boundary. Any removed or renamed path now forces the full build/test matrix, so stale dist_man1_MANS entries and equivalent distribution-manifest failures are exercised while content-only manpage edits can remain in the documentation exclusion zone. Focused classifier coverage verifies the fail-open decision.

Final validation — Sol-only technical fallback
The classifier is conservative at collection and packaging boundaries, and its 13-test regression suite passes locally. One in-scope test-coverage gap remains: no repository CI target executes the new suite, so future classifier regressions can merge without exercising it.
Source: reviewers gpt-5.6-sol and glm-5.3-flash; final verifier gpt-5.6-sol.
One or more required Phase-1 GLM Flash lanes remained technically unusable after the bounded exact-model retry. Their evidence was discarded as authoritative, and the complete selected role cohort was rerun fresh on exact gpt-5.6-sol before this fresh Sol verifier produced the final decision. No additional Phase-2 reviewer pass ran.

- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/test_classify_ci_changes.py:8-12: Run the classifier regression suite automatically
The new regression suite is only executed manually in the PR's testing instructions. Repository CI runs `ci/dash/lint.sh`, which invokes `test/lint/all-lint.py`; that runner discovers only `test/lint/lint-*.py`, and no workflow or other CI script invokes this module. Future changes to this CI-critical classifier can therefore pass CI without exercising the exclusion-boundary, fail-open, rename, malformed-input, or summary-escaping tests. Wire this inexpensive suite into the always-running lint/check path.

Documentation-only and repository-template changes currently run the complete dependency, cross-platform build, sanitizer, and functional-test matrix even though they cannot affect the compiled software. For example, the documentation-only PR #7575 consumed approximately 212 runner-minutes in the main CI workflow.
