A pull request that touches only Markdown can land green and turn main
red on the push that follows it. Here is the whole of it:

# Support[^1] abou the Projekt

verify.md passes — that is well-formed Markdown. Two misspellings
are caught only by verify.spelling, and a Markdown-only pull request
never runs it.

Why

The paths filter chose which linters ran from which file types changed.
That is right for linters that belong to a language, and wrong for the
five that do not — verify.spelling, verify.filenames,
verify.fileModes, verify.validForEC, verify.unit. All five live
inside nps test, whose condition was:

if: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' || steps.filter.outputs.js == 'true'
        || steps.filter.outputs.json == 'true'
        || steps.filter.outputs.ts == 'true' }}

So they ran on a push to main and on pull requests touching JS, JSON or
TS — and nowhere else. main is the one place nobody is watching when
it breaks.

This is not hypothetical. #897 is a Markdown-only pull request; its run
shows Test skipped:

success  Verify commit messages
success  Verify Markdown
skipped  Test          ← spelling, filenames, file modes, EditorConfig, unit

The fix, and why this shape

Everything runs on every pull request. The per-language steps and
dorny/paths-filter are gone, because with the full suite unconditional
they would only duplicate it.

Filtering bought six seconds — an 18-second run against a 24-second
one, both dominated by checkout, node setup and install. That is not a
trade worth a class of change that passes review and breaks the branch it
lands on.

Two things fall out: one fewer third-party action in the supply chain,
and permissions drops to contents: read, since pull-requests: read
existed only for the filter.

On diverging from the portal

openinf.github.io filters, and should: its suite builds an Eleventy
site and starts a JVM for vnu. This repository's suite reads files. Same
latent bug there, different trade — worth a look separately rather than
copying this change across.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Verification and test checks now run for every pull request.
    • Checks no longer depend on specific file types or changed-file detection.
  • Security

    • Workflow permissions are limited to read-only repository contents.

Note

Merge this before #895. Both touch .github/workflows/lint-and-test.yml; #895 removes the paths filter's liquid entry, this one removes the filter altogether. Landing this first makes #895's hunk moot rather than a hand-resolved conflict.

The paths filter chose which linters ran from which file types had
changed, and the tasks belonging to no language sat behind the same gate
as the ones that do. Spelling, filenames, file modes, EditorConfig and
the unit tests all live inside `nps test`, which ran only when
JavaScript, JSON or TypeScript changed.

A pull request touching only Markdown therefore skipped all five.
`# Support[^1] abou the Projekt` passes verify.md -- it is well-formed
Markdown -- and is caught only by verify.spelling, which such a pull
request never runs. It lands green, then the push to main runs the full
suite and the default branch goes red. That is the one place nobody is
watching, and #897 is a Markdown-only pull request that took exactly
this path.

Filtering bought six seconds: eighteen against twenty-four, both mostly
checkout, node and install. Not worth a class of change that passes
review and breaks the branch it lands on. Everything runs now, which
also retires a third-party action and the `pull-requests: read`
permission it wanted.

The portal filters for a reason that holds there and not here: its suite
builds a site and starts a JVM. This one reads files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request workflow now uses only contents: read permissions. It removes changed-file filtering and runs verification and tests for every pull request.

Changes

Workflow validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow permissions and check execution
.github/workflows/lint-and-test.yml
The workflow removes pull-requests: read, the paths-filter step, and changed-file conditions. Verification and tests now run for every pull request.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f4c9

Pull requests will run more checks consistently, but the pull-request-specific verifier is still skipped, so changes that violate PR validation rules can merge without being detected.

Run the pull-request verifier explicitly.

nps test runs verify.all. verify.all only executes build/tasks/verify/*.mts. It does not run verify.pullRequest, because that task invokes build/tasks/verify-pull-request.mts.

Add nps verify.pullRequest to this pull-request job. Otherwise, pull requests can remain green without the pull-request-specific verification.

Proposed fix
-        run: nps test
+        run: nps verify.pullRequest && nps test
