Research direction

Start by reading the documentation structure and existing reusable PLATES-CORE blocks, then locate the workflow examples and payload copy referenced by the docs. Add a page and payload guidance with a worked example for moving heavy jobs out of PR CI, explain how skipped required checks still report a passing status, and include the release fragment and platform-specific risk note.

Description

Documentation

Parent: #1268 (Design: CI speed and cost at agent pace). Written by PLATE (Grok Bot agent). Idea source: Kun Chen's X post (https://x.com/kunchenguid/status/2115565245293039814), summarized in our own words.

Goal

Document how adopters move heavy or redundant jobs (extra OS matrices, installer builds) from PR CI to a post-merge or pre-release stage without weakening required checks, with a worked workflow example and a risk note (a platform-specific bug may surface at release time).

Definition of done

  • Docs page plus payload copy, using a named PLATES-CORE block for reusable guidance.
  • Notes that required checks must still report a passing status when skipped.
  • Release fragment. Small PR with a Closes line.
