Oct 1, 2025

Month: 2025-10 — In CDOT-CV/jpo-cvmanager, delivered CI/CD improvements that promote smaller PRs, faster feedback, and more reliable builds. Implemented a configurable PR file-change limit in CI with an early blocking job that flags oversized changes before build/test, and added logging of changed-files counts with a MAX_CHANGED_FILES-based error message for clarity. Introduced an experimental CI feature to cancel parallel jobs on failure using andymckay/cancel-action, including enabling and rollback commits; the cancellation feature was later reverted to disable automatic cancellation, reflecting prudent risk management. These changes reduce wasted CI compute, shorten review cycles, and improve governance over code changes. Demonstrated technologies include GitHub Actions, step-security/changed-files, and andymckay/cancel-action, with emphasis on observability, configurability, and rollback readiness.
