 [`tools/check_path_filters`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tools/check_path_filters) for the list of
 skipped files and what to do when a compiler job starts reading one of them.

+Most compiler jobs run only once a maintainer adds the label "🚀 ready to merge" to a pull request; until then, a
+smaller set of jobs runs on every push. See
+[How CI runs](https://json.nlohmann.me/community/quality_assurance/#how-ci-runs) for the sets and when they run.

+
+The documentation and license checks and the amalgamation check run on every push and pull request; AppVeyor (Visual
+Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019) has its own schedule. A pull request that changes only the documentation, Markdown files, GitHub metadata, or license files
+skips the compiler workflows (see [`tools/check_path_filters`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tools/check_path_filters)).
+
+A maintainer adds the label :rocket: ready to merge when a pull request is ready; the full set then runs, and again on
+every later push to that pull request. A pull request is merged only when the full set passed.
+
+??? abstract "Jobs of the compiler workflows and their sets"
+
+    The table is generated by [`tools/ci_jobs`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tools/ci_jobs), which
+    also checks in CI that it is up to date and that every job belongs to exactly one set.

+The jobs of the compiler workflows [`ubuntu.yml`](../../.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml),
+[`macos.yml`](../../.github/workflows/macos.yml), and [`windows.yml`](../../.github/workflows/windows.yml) are split into
+three sets, chosen by each job's
+`if:` condition (see [How CI runs](https://json.nlohmann.me/community/quality_assurance/#how-ci-runs)):
+
+- **PR set**: every push to a pull request, and every push to `develop`, `master`, and `release/*`;
+- **full set**: after the PR set passed, on pull requests with the label "🚀 ready to merge" and on every push;
+- **nightly set**: every night on `develop`, on every push to `master` and `release/*`, and when started by hand.
+
+A matrix whose entries belong to different sets is split into one job per set: the full-set job gets the suffix
+`_full`, the nightly-set job `_nightly`, and both share their steps with the PR-set job through YAML anchors.
+
+[`ci_jobs.py`](ci_jobs.py) checks that
+
+- every job has the `if:` condition of exactly one set (the conditions are in `SETS`),
+- every full-set job waits for (`needs:`) exactly the PR set of its workflow, and `nightly_report` for exactly the
+  nightly set, and
+- the job table in [`quality_assurance.md`](../../docs/mkdocs/docs/community/quality_assurance.md) is up to date.
+
+```shell
+python3 -m venv venv && venv/bin/pip install -r tools/ci_jobs/requirements.txt
+venv/bin/python tools/ci_jobs/ci_jobs.py                       # check

+venv/bin/python tools/ci_jobs/ci_jobs.py --compare origin/develop  # list configurations added or removed since develop
+```
+
+Use `--compare` when changing the workflows: a configuration that disappears fails it, so no compiler, version, or
+standard is dropped by accident when jobs are split, merged, or moved between sets.

Niels Lohmann	4c3e92b96e	Split the macOS and Windows jobs into a PR set, a full set, and a nightly set The 19 macOS and 32 Windows jobs ran on every push to every pull request. They now use the same sets as the Ubuntu jobs: - PR set (16): four Visual Studio 2022 and two Visual Studio 2026 configurations, ARM64 Debug, Clang 20.1.8 with MinGW, MinGW x86, the C++20 module test, Xcode 16.0, 16.4, 26.3 and 26.6, C++14 on the latest Xcode, and the Swift Package Manager check. - full set (34): every other Visual Studio configuration, Clang version, clang-cl, Xcode version and C++ standard. - nightly set (1): 64-bit MinGW, which takes about 68 minutes. A failed nightly run opens or updates an issue. No configuration is removed: tools/ci_jobs/ci_jobs.py --compare lists 157 configurations before and after, and all jobs keep their runner, steps and environment. ci_jobs.py now checks all three workflows and expands matrices that consist only of include entries correctly.

Niels Lohmann	087df7b0c2	Split the Ubuntu jobs into a PR set, a full set, and a nightly set All ~100 Ubuntu jobs ran on every push to every pull request. They now belong to three sets, chosen by each job's if: condition: - PR set (16 configurations): every push to a pull request and every push. Together with the checks that always run, these jobs would have caught at least 92 % of the failing commits of Sep/Oct 2026. - full set (73 configurations): after the PR set passed, on pushes and on pull requests with the "🚀 ready to merge" label. - nightly set (10 configurations): Infer, Valgrind, coverage, icpc, icpx, nvhpc, CUDA, and ARM64; nightly on develop, on pushes to master and release/*, and by hand. A failed nightly run opens or updates an issue. A matrix whose entries belong to different sets is split into one job per set; the jobs share their steps through YAML anchors. No configuration is removed: tools/ci_jobs/ci_jobs.py --compare lists 150 configurations before and after. The same tool checks in CI that every job belongs to exactly one set, that the full set waits for the whole PR set, and that the job table in quality_assurance.md is up to date. The documentation describes the sets in a new section "How CI runs", and the QA pipeline figure shows the new badges. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-10-27 19:40:21 +01:00
