Alexander Brown f566abdd6e ci: extract changes-filter composite action; fix docs-only PR stall (#11785)
## Summary

Extract a `.github/actions/changes-filter` composite action and adopt it
across path-gated CI workflows, fixing the docs-only PR stall and
removing duplicated `paths:` / `paths-ignore:` filtering across 8
workflows.

## Background

Docs-only PRs stalled on required status checks because workflows using
`paths-ignore: ['**/*.md']` never created a check run, while branch
protection still required it. Observed on #11776 (the `test` check from
`ci-tests-unit.yaml` never appeared).

The fix pattern: keep the workflow triggered, gate downstream jobs on a
`changes` job whose outputs are computed from a path filter. Skipped
jobs count as passing under branch protection.

## What the action emits

| Output | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `should-run` | Any file outside `apps/`, `docs/`, `.storybook/`,
`**/*.md` changed. |
| `app-website-changes` | Shared deps or `apps/website/**` changed. |
| `app-desktop-changes` | Shared deps or `apps/desktop-ui/**` changed. |
| `app-frontend-changes` | Shared deps or `src/**` changed. |
| `packages-changes` | Shared deps or `packages/**` changed. |
| `storybook-changes` | Shared deps or `.storybook/**` changed. |
| `docs-changes` | `docs/**` or any `**/*.md` changed (deps NOT folded
in). |
| `dependency-changes` | Root `package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, or
`pnpm-workspace.yaml` changed. |

Shared deps are folded into every `app-*`, `packages-changes`, and
`storybook-changes` output so a lockfile bump correctly invalidates each
granular gate. Outputs default to `'true'` for non-`pull_request` events
to avoid the silent-skip footgun on push / merge_group.

## Workflows migrated

| Workflow | Gate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `ci-tests-unit.yaml` | `should-run` | Required check (`test`). Fixes
the original stall. |
| `ci-tests-e2e.yaml` | `should-run` | Required check (`e2e-status`).
Replaces inline filter. |
| `ci-perf-report.yaml` | `should-run` | Removes `paths-ignore`. |
| `ci-website-build.yaml` | `app-website-changes \|\| packages-changes`
| Refactor — not a required check, but moves to job-level gating. Filter
scope broadens from `packages/{design-system}` to all `packages/**`
(strictly safer). |
| `ci-website-e2e.yaml` | `app-website-changes \|\| packages-changes` |
Same restructure; `post-starting-comment` also gated to avoid spurious
"tests are running" when E2E is skipped. |
| `ci-dist-telemetry-scan.yaml` | `should-run` | New gate; was
previously running on every PR including docs-only. |
| `ci-oss-assets-validation.yaml` | `should-run` | Same. |
| `ci-size-data.yaml` | `should-run` | Preserves existing repository
guard on the new `changes` job. |
| `ci-tests-storybook.yaml` | `storybook-changes \|\|
app-frontend-changes \|\| packages-changes` | Gates 4 of 6 jobs.
`deploy-production` (push to main) left ungated;
`update-comment-with-chromatic` cascades naturally. |

## Branch protection (verified)

Required status checks on `main` and `core/**`/`cloud/**`: `test`,
`lint-and-format`, `e2e-status`. Only `test` and `e2e-status` use the
composite — `lint-and-format` correctly stays unfiltered (must run on
docs/apps too). The other 6 migrations are refactor wins (less wasted CI
on docs/apps-only PRs), not stall fixes.

## Changes

- **What**: New `.github/actions/changes-filter` composite + 8 workflow
migrations to consume it.
- **Breaking**: None.
- **Dependencies**: New pin on `dorny/paths-filter@de90cc6` — already
covered by `ci-validate-action-pins`.

## Review Focus

- The `should-run` filter excludes `.storybook/**` (granular
`storybook-changes` covers it instead). Storybook's gate combines all
three: `storybook-changes || app-frontend-changes || packages-changes`.
- Two `dorny/paths-filter` steps inside the composite —
`predicate-quantifier=every` is required for the negated globs in
`should-run` but breaks the multi-pattern OR filters.
- The website filter scope intentionally broadens from
`packages/{design-system,tailwind-utils}/**` to all `packages/**` for
consistency and safety.

Fixes #11776

Naming Convention

Workflow files follow a consistent naming pattern: <prefix>-<descriptive-name>.yaml

Category Prefixes

Prefix Purpose Example
ci- Testing, linting, validation ci-tests-e2e.yaml
release- Version management, publishing release-version-bump.yaml
pr- PR automation (triggered by labels) pr-claude-review.yaml
api- External Api type generation api-update-registry-api-types.yaml
i18n- Internationalization updates i18n-update-core.yaml

Documentation

Each workflow file contains comments explaining its purpose, triggers, and behavior. For specific details about what each workflow does, refer to the comments at the top of each .yaml file.
