# Phase quick-260613-dmw Plan 01: Exclude .gitea/** from CI code paths-filter Summary

**One-liner:** Added `- '!.gitea/**'` as the final entry of the `dorny/paths-filter@v4` `code` filter so workflow-only PRs skip the MariaDB/integration/Playwright harness while fast-checks and gate still gate them.

## Tasks Completed

| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
|------|------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Exclude .gitea/** from the CI code paths-filter | 2d329a9 | `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` |

## What Was Done

Single line added to the `changes` job's paths-filter `code` block in `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`:

```yaml
              - '!.gitea/**'
```

Placed after all positive globs (last entry), so:
- A PR touching **only** `.gitea/**` resolves `code=false` → `api` and `harness` skip → `gate` accepts via its success-or-skipped loop.
- A PR touching `.gitea/**` **plus** app code or lockfile resolves `code=true` → heavy jobs run as before.
- `fast-checks` (runs `format:check`, which validates the YAML) and `gate` are unchanged and always gate every PR.
- `security` (gitleaks) is unchanged and always runs.

## Verification Results

- YAML validity: `python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)'` → exit 0
- Negation ordering: `!.gitea/**` at index 11, last yml/yaml glob at index 5 → assertion passed
- Scope guard: `git diff --stat` shows exactly 1 file, 1 insertion, 0 deletions
- Formatting: `pnpm format:check` → "All matched files use Prettier code style!"

## Deviations from Plan

None — plan executed exactly as written.

## Self-Check: PASSED

- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` exists and contains `!.gitea/**`
- Commit `2d329a9` present in git log
