Description

Move shared exclusions and routing/mathopt paths into ci/test-paths.yaml.
A pre-commit hook generates the three C++ path lists in
.github/workflows/pr.yaml, so shared rules only need to be edited once.

Test selection stays the same. Added tests for the script.

All pre-commit checks passed.

Walkthrough

The PR adds a YAML source for C++ test path exclusions and a generator that updates workflow filters from those rules. It also adds generator tests and pre-commit hooks.

Changes: C++ test path filters

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define exclusion groups ci/test-paths.yaml	The YAML file defines common, mathopt-only, and routing-only exclusions for the C++ test filters.
Generate and validate workflow filters ci/utils/generate_test_paths.py, ci/tests/test_generate_test_paths.py, .pre-commit-config.yaml	The generator validates the rules and workflow layout, updates the workflow filters, and supports a check mode. Tests cover generated groups, preservation of unrelated workflow text, idempotence, and invalid inputs. Pre-commit hooks run the generator and its tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to dd28d

Test selection remains unchanged. Add the missing category and breaking labels to satisfy Label Checker.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to dd28d

The change centralizes existing test-selection rules without changing the committed workflow or its permissions. The new functions are local generation utilities and tests, not service entrypoints. No material security risk introduced or worsened by this PR was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new tooling can affect test-selection policy through a local workflow-file update. That is its security-relevant scope; the inspected paths do not establish new tenant, service, secret, or production-data access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Repository-authored YAML is parsed as data rather than executed, validated, and rendered into a constrained workflow location. The existing style-check script invokes pre-commit under fail-fast shell settings and contains no commit or publication step. Whether an external reusable workflow invokes that script was not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The final direct file write provides no atomic replacement or concurrent-update protection. Interruption or competing writers can damage or overwrite local workflow edits, but the inspected execution path does not establish automatic publication or a deployed security-control bypass.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#2273] The PR uses the issue’s shared-source and generator approach. ci/test-paths.yaml defines common, routing-only, and mathopt-only exclusions. ci/utils/generate_test_paths.py generates the three files_yaml lists in .github/workflows/pr.yaml. The pre-commit hook keeps the generated lists aligned, and ci/tests/test_generate_test_paths.py tests generation and invalid input. The current change summary confirms this design. The incremental diff was unavailable, so this assessment relies on the reviewed-head summary and the prior review’s code evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed configuration, generator, pre-commit hooks, workflow lists, and generator tests all support [#2273]. The current change summary identifies no separate behavior or files outside that objective. The incremental diff was unavailable, so this assessment relies on the available change summary and prior review evidence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 6 functions across 2 files.

- Line 128: The rules loader in main must reject duplicate mapping keys instead
of silently keeping the last value. Add a safe YAML loader that detects
duplicate keys and raises an error, use it to parse the rules, and add a
negative-control test confirming duplicate keys are rejected.
