ci: allow manual E2E runs via workflow_dispatch#98
Merged
Conversation
Add a workflow_dispatch trigger with platform and tier inputs so the E2E jobs on the self-hosted GPU runners can be run on demand against any ref, without a push or the full pipeline. A manual dispatch skips build-and-test for a fast loop; nothing on the default branch depends on that job, so skipping it is safe here. The trigger must exist on the default branch for the workflow to be dispatchable at all; the E2E jobs that consume these inputs live on their own branch and are run by dispatching against that ref.

Include the mock E2E tier as a manually selectable target so a dispatch can run the full E2E matrix (mock + GPU), matching the guard set on the E2E jobs. Signed-off-by: fredespi <fredrik.espinoza@gmail.com>

Pull request overview
This PR makes the repository’s main CI workflow manually runnable via workflow_dispatch, primarily to support on-demand E2E runs (on a separate ref/branch that contains the E2E jobs) without requiring a push/PR event.
Changes:
- Added a
workflow_dispatchtrigger to.github/workflows/ci.ymlwithplatformandtierchoice inputs. - Skipped the
build-and-testjob when the workflow is manually dispatched (workflow_dispatch) to enable a faster manual iteration path.

A
workflow_dispatchworkflow is only dispatchable if the trigger exists on the default branch. Landing it here makesci.ymldispatchable; the E2E jobs that consume these inputs live on their own branch and are exercised by dispatching against that ref (gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch> -f platform=... -f tier=...).Scope
build-and-testskip. The default branch currently has no E2E jobs to guard; those are added on a separate branch which mirrors this identicalon:block.Test plan
