Master run ~130 min → ~79.

JRuby was 56% of the bill — five cells at ~15 min each, proving the same JVM facts (no Kernel#fork, thread semantics, the FFI/vips path). None vary by Rails version.

  • jruby dropped from ruby-version; one jruby-10.1 cell in include.
  • MRI grid untouched — ~4 min a cell, so cutting them buys little.
  • All three Capybara drivers kept.
  • PRs run the critical jobs only; full-ci stays a manual opt-in.

Also restores 4.0 × rails81. Its exclude said functional-test covered it — it doesn't: functional-test runs that pair on vips, the matrix runs chunky_png. That combination had never been tested.

Summary by Sourcery

Streamline CI by replacing redundant JRuby matrix cells with a single representative cell, restoring Ruby 4.0/Rails 8.1 coverage, and limiting full-matrix runs to intentional gates.

Bug Fixes:

  • Restore coverage for the Ruby 4.0 and Rails 8.1 combination using the intended screenshot driver.
  • Remove path-based automatic full-matrix execution for pull requests, keeping version-sensitive coverage available through the full-ci opt-in.

Enhancements:

  • Reduce the version matrix to a spanning set with one JRuby cell while retaining the MRI and driver coverage needed across the supported combinations.
  • Document the updated CI triggers, matrix coverage model, and guidance for opting into full CI.

CI:

  • Reduce the default CI workload by running the full version matrix only on master, scheduled or manual runs, and pull requests labeled full-ci.
  • Retain JRuby retry and timeout handling while consolidating its Rails coverage into a single cell.

Reviewer's Guide

CI now uses a lightweight critical path for pull requests, a six-cell Ruby/Rails spanning set plus cuprite screenshot coverage as the master gate, and non-gating weekly jobs to exercise skipped Ruby/Rails pairs, all browser drivers, and forward-looking runtimes while documenting the tradeoffs and maintenance contract.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Rebalanced CI coverage so pull requests run only critical checks while master uses a six-cell Ruby/Rails spanning set.
  • Removed automatic path-based full-matrix execution from pull requests.
  • Retained manual full-ci opt-in and made the matrix the master gate.
  • Replaced the 16-cell cross product with six deliberately selected Ruby/Rails pairs, including functional-test coverage for Ruby 4.0/Rails 8.1.
  • Disabled fail-fast for matrix jobs and preserved JRuby 10.0 as the gated JRuby version.
.github/workflows/test.yml
CONTRIBUTING.md
Reduced screenshot-driver gating to cuprite while preserving both screenshot backends.
  • Changed the master/opt-in driver matrix to cuprite with vips and chunky_png.
  • Documented that Selenium coverage is deferred rather than removed.
.github/workflows/test.yml
CONTRIBUTING.md
Added non-gating weekly drift coverage for deferred compatibility and browser combinations.
  • Added weekly/dispatch Ruby/Rails drift cells covering skipped pairs, Rails edge, and JRuby 10.1.
  • Added weekly/dispatch integration coverage for Selenium drivers and both screenshot backends.
  • Configured drift jobs with continue-on-error, retries where applicable, and failure screenshot artifact uploads.
.github/workflows/test.yml
CONTRIBUTING.md
Updated contributor documentation with the new CI policy, costs, spanning-set rationale, and maintenance warning.
  • Documented PR, master, opt-in, and weekly/dispatch job scopes and approximate runtimes.
  • Explained when to apply the full-ci label and why deferred coverage depends on the drift jobs.
  • Recorded that deleting drift coverage requires restoring the larger matrix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow replaces broad pull request test coverage with a spanning-set gate. It retains broader coverage for master, scheduled, manual, and full-ci runs. New drift jobs test deferred runtime and Selenium combinations. Contributor documentation describes the updated CI schedule and matrix.

Changes

Required CI gate

The required gate runs for selected triggers and uses six explicit Ruby/Rails pairs. The screenshot-driver gate uses Cuprite only.
Scheduled drift coverage

New non-gating jobs test deferred Ruby/Rails combinations and Selenium integrations on scheduled or manual runs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4aaa8

Weekly drift failures currently may finish without preserving failure screenshots, making regressions harder to diagnose. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to add a failure-only artifact upload step.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Upload failure artifacts from matrix-drift.

When a matrix-drift cell fails after its retries, the job ends without an artifact upload. drift-drivers preserves failure screenshots, but this job does not. Add an if: failure() upload step after this retry step. This preserves diagnostics and meets the stated drift-job contract.

Proposed fix
       - name: Test with retry
         uses: nick-fields/retry@v4
         with:
           timeout_minutes: ${{ contains(matrix.ruby-version, 'jruby') && 20 || 4 }}

Master run ~130 min -> ~79.

JRuby was 56% of the bill: five cells at ~15 min proving the same JVM facts
(no Kernel#fork, thread semantics, the FFI/vips path), none of which vary by
Rails version. Dropped from `ruby-version`; one jruby-10.1 cell in `include`.

MRI grid untouched -- ~4 min a cell, so cutting them buys little.

Restores 4.0 x rails81: its exclude claimed functional-test covered it, but
that job runs the pair on vips and the matrix runs chunky_png.

Comments trimmed to why-only, 62 lines -> 20. Two were stale: the matrix was
described as a spanning set, and 4.0 x rails81 as absent.
