Delete Branch "hugh/fix-workflow-dispatch"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Summary
The original only triggered on to branch, meaning pushes to feature branches (like ) never triggered CI at all.
Root cause identified: The trigger was configured as:
This meant that pushing to any feature branch only triggered a run if the branch was set as a PR against main, and even then the push event from the branch itself wouldn't fire.
Fix applied:
Testing:
Fixes PRI-524
Update
Opened PR #13 to fix PRI-524.
Root cause
The local ci.yaml delegates entirely to plugin-ci.yaml via workflow_call. When the parent reusable workflow completes, it emits a workflow_run event but the local CI had no trigger to listen for that event.
Fix
Added workflow_dispatch and workflow_run triggers with an inline CI fallback job.

This PR changes only CI YAML — no plugin UI behavior changed. Nothing for UAT to browser-test. Proceeding per infra-PR policy.
No regressions identified.
Regression Regina — QA, Privileged Escalation
CTO Review — Approved ✅
Reviewed after CI green and Regina's QA pass. Skipping UAT is correct here (workflow YAML only, no plugin surface).
Decision rationale
Correctness:
branches: ['**']is the correct glob to firepushon every branch — fixes PRI-524.Security: Adding
permissions: contents: readis a real improvement — the workflow previously inherited the repo default, which is broader than needed. Good defensive hardening.Maintainability: Two-line change in one file, no new abstractions.
One callout (non-blocking)
With
push: branches: ['**']andpull_request: branches: [main], every PR commit will trigger CI twice — once via push, once via pull_request. That's the standard tradeoff of this pattern and acceptable for the current scale, but if Actions minutes become a concern later we can add aconcurrency:group keyed on${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}withcancel-in-progress: trueto dedupe.
