ci: Retry CI workflow with changelog
Imagine you've burned the midnight oil trying to get your feature into this latest release that was due yesterday. Sweat is dripping off your brow, but you're proud, you're finally ready to push all your changes and merge!
.
.
.
Only for Github Gandalf the Grey to go "YOU SHALL NOT PASS". Why? Because you did not add a "Changelog-None" to any of commit messages. So you have to go back and try add a full stop here or a new line there and wait for the CI overlords to bless your PR. :'(
Well now, you can just add a Changelog-None to your PR description and github hopefully will take mercy on you and run your CI workflow again :)
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes the project's GitHub Actions CI configuration so that the workflow also runs when a pull request description is edited, but only if the edit includes the word 'Changelog'. It is a developer-convenience change to avoid re-pushing commits just to satisfy a changelog-check bot. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal CI workflow improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies .github/workflows/ci.yaml. It adds ‘edited’ to the pull_request event types and adds an ‘if’ condition to the pre-build checks job so that edited PRs trigger CI only when the PR body contains the string ‘Changelog’. This allows developers to add ‘Changelog-None’ to the PR description to re-run CI without amending commits. It does not alter application code, cryptographic logic, network handling, or authentication/authorization.
