- **Change detection**: Only builds modified components (frontend, backend, operator, claude-runner)
- **Path-based triggers**: Workflows only run when relevant files change (reduces unnecessary CI runs)
- **Concurrency controls**: Cancels outdated workflow runs when new commits are pushed
- **Multi-platform builds**: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64Positive Highlights✨ Excellent Design Decisions

Rationale: If these jobs are only used for filtering (not for matrix setup or cross-job outputs), the path-based triggers already handle that logic. Priority 2: Documentation UpdateUpdate the GitHub Actions CI/CD section in CLAUDE.md (around line 858) to document the path-based filtering and concurrency control features. Priority 3: Consider Adding Tests for Workflow ChangesFor future workflow changes, consider adding a test workflow that validates:

Claude Code ReviewSummaryThis PR implements intelligent path-based filtering and concurrency controls for GitHub Actions workflows. The changes optimize CI/CD pipeline efficiency by preventing unnecessary workflow executions and automatically canceling outdated runs. This is a well-targeted optimization that aligns with best practices for GitHub Actions management. Issues by Severity🚫 Blocker IssuesNone - the PR is ready to merge from a technical perspective. 🔴 Critical IssuesNone identified. 🟡 Major Issues1. Inconsistent Path Filtering for Workflow Files
2. Go Lint Workflow Still Has detect-go-changes Job
🔵 Minor Issues1. Missing Path Patterns for Dependency Files
2. E2E Workflow Paths Are Broader Than Necessary
3. Concurrency Group Naming Could Be More Descriptive
Positive Highlights✅ Excellent Optimization Strategy - Path-based filtering is the right approach for reducing unnecessary CI runs. ✅ Proper Concurrency Controls - Using cancel-in-progress: true is perfect for PR workflows where only the latest commit matters. ✅ Consistency in Implementation - All affected workflows follow the same pattern for concurrency and path filtering. ✅ Clear Documentation - The PR description clearly explains the benefits and impact, making it easy to understand the changes. ✅ Frontend Cleanup - Removing the redundant detect-frontend-changes job in favor of native path filtering is a great simplification. ✅ Self-Referencing Paths - Including the workflow file itself in the paths trigger ensures workflow changes are tested. RecommendationsPriority 1 (Before Merge)
Priority 2 (Follow-up PR)
Priority 3 (Nice to Have)
ConclusionThis is a high-quality optimization PR that demonstrates good understanding of GitHub Actions best practices. The implementation is solid and will deliver immediate benefits in terms of CI efficiency and cost savings. The major issues identified are inconsistencies that should be resolved for cleanliness, but they don't block the PR's core functionality. The minor issues are optimization opportunities that can be addressed in follow-up work. Recommendation: Approve with requested changes (address major issues before merge) Review completed using Claude Code with loaded memory context from CLAUDE.md and pattern files. Note: This is a GitHub Actions workflow change, so most coding standards don't apply.

🚀 Optimize GitHub Actions: Add Path-Based Triggers and Concurrency Controls
Summary
This PR significantly optimizes our CI/CD pipeline by implementing intelligent path-based filtering and adding concurrency controls to prevent redundant workflow executions.
Changes Made
🎯 Path-Based Filtering
Added paths triggers to workflows so they only run when relevant files change:
##⚡ Concurrency Controls
Added concurrency groups with cancel-in-progress: true to:
##🧹 Workflow Simplification
Benefits
Example Impact
Before: A documentation-only change would trigger all 4 workflows unnecessarily
After: Documentation changes won't trigger any component workflows
Before: Pushing multiple commits rapidly could run multiple conflicting workflows
After: Only the latest commit's workflow runs, previous ones are automatically cancelled
Testing
This optimization will make our CI pipeline more efficient while maintaining the same level of code quality assurance.
