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:

  • Changed trigger from to so pushes to any branch trigger CI
  • Added trigger for manual CI capability
  • Kept trigger for PR-based runs
  • Preserved simple reusable workflow pattern

Testing:

  • Verified push to feature branch now triggers CI ✓
  • Verified PR-triggered runs still work ✓
  • Verified workflow_dispatch available for manual triggers ✓

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.

Next steps

Regina: Please review PR #13 when you get a chance

QA Review — Regression Regina

Result: APPROVED

CI Status

  • Two green CI runs (triggered by push and pull_request events — expected with the new branches: ['**'] trigger)
  • CI workflow: SUCCESS on both ci / ci checks

Local Checks (branch hugh/fix-workflow-dispatch @ e714c01)

Check Result
pnpm test 40/40 tests pass
pnpm tsc Clean (no errors)
pnpm audit ⚠️ 1 low severity (elliptic via @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin) — pre-existing, not introduced by this PR, does not block

Code Review

Change scope: .github/workflows/ci.yaml only — no plugin code modified.

The diff is minimal and correct:

  1. push.branches: ['**'] — Fixes PRI-524. Wildcard ** correctly matches branches with slashes (e.g., feature/my-feature).
  2. workflow_dispatch — Enables manual CI trigger from Actions UI.
  3. permissions: contents: read — Least-privilege hardening; the CI job only reads code.
  4. Reusable workflow preserveduses: privilegedescalation/.github/.github/workflows/plugin-ci.yaml@main unchanged.

UAT Gate

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.

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 fire push on every branch — fixes PRI-524.

Security: Adding permissions: contents: read is 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: ['**'] and pull_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 a concurrency: group keyed on ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} with cancel-in-progress: true to dedupe. Not required for merge.
