Purpose

A full CI run used about 117 minutes on the T4 runner, and less than 10
of them to train models. This pull request moves the work that does not
need a GPU to ubuntu-latest. It also runs the GPU suites only when they
can find a new failure.

Specification

  • The new cpu suite holds the unit tests and the integration tests
    that do not train, tune or quantize a model. It runs on
    ubuntu-latest and replaces the unit suite.
  • The new gpu marker identifies the tests that train, tune or
    quantize. They stay in the misc suite on the T4 runner. A test
    without the marker goes to the cpu suite.
  • The GPU suites start only after the cpu suite passes. The tests
    job runs the cpu suite, and the new gpu-tests job runs the GPU
    suites. A YAML anchor gives both jobs the same steps. The check names
    do not change.
  • test_combinations no longer archives the model for each backbone.
    The new test_combinations_archive archives it once, with
    EfficientRep. The backbone changes only the output shapes in the
    archive, not the code that runs.
  • The new plan job selects the GPU suites:
    • A change of the documentation only runs no GPU suite and uploads
      no coverage. This includes docstrings, comments, Markdown and the
      settings of the linters and of the API docs.
      scripts/only_docstrings_changed.py decides this.
    • A draft pull request skips predefined_heavy. The workflow also
      starts on ready_for_review, which runs all the suites.
    • A dispatch and a call from another workflow run all the suites.
  • Two tests fail on main since 2026-10-08, for causes outside this
    repository:
    • The conversion jobs on HubAI fail and give no error.
      test_convert_with_hubai is now an expected failure with
      HubApiError. The marker is not strict. Remove it when HubAI works
      again.
    • LuxonisML added resize_mode to the NN Archive config. The expected
      config of test_custom_model now holds it.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md describes the suites, the gate, the plan rules and
    the gpu marker.

Dependencies & Potential Impact

  • The Codecov flag unit becomes cpu.
  • A run takes about 15 minutes longer, because the GPU suites wait for
    the cpu suite.
  • A test that trains without the gpu marker does not train on the GPU.
  • A draft gets no result from predefined_heavy.
  • The CI does not test the HubAI conversion while the marker is there.
  • A change of the documentation only gets no Codecov status.

Deployment Plan

None / not applicable.

Testing & Validation

  • pytest --collect-only puts each test in exactly one suite.
  • On the last 12 commits of main, the script accepts only the commit
    that changes docstrings only.
  • The prek hooks and Pyright pass. A YAML load of the workflow gives
    both test jobs the same steps.
  • The draft run and the run after ready_for_review passed. In the
    second run, the GPU suites started after the cpu suite passed, and
    predefined_heavy ran.

Minutes of each suite, in the last run on main and in the run after
ready_for_review on this branch:

Suite Runner main This branch
unit, now cpu ubuntu-latest 2.8 14.8
misc T4 28.5 9.5
combinations T4 21.8 8.9
predefined_light T4 23.8 23.8
predefined_heavy T4 42.6 42.4
T4 total 116.7 84.6

A draft skips predefined_heavy and uses about 42 T4 minutes. A change
of the documentation only, or a failure in the cpu suite, uses no T4
minutes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • CI now separates CPU and GPU test runs, selecting GPU suites based on pull request changes. Documentation-only changes skip GPU tests and coverage; draft pull requests run a smaller GPU selection.
  • Documentation
    • Contributor guidance explains how tests are assigned to CPU or GPU suites and how CI selects them.
  • Tests
    • Archiving is tested separately from combination workflows.
    • Test coverage now includes documentation-only change detection and updated preprocessing configuration behavior.

GitHub bills the GPU runner by the minute. Most of the work on it does not
need a GPU, and some suites ran when they could not find a new failure.

- Move the integration tests that do not train, tune or quantize a
  model to the new `cpu` suite. This suite also holds the unit tests,
  and it runs on a free runner. The tests that train have the new
  `gpu` marker and stay in the `misc` suite on the GPU runner.
- Archive the model of the combinations test with one backbone only.
  The archive does not depend on the backbone, and its xz compression
  used two thirds of the time of the suite.
- Add the `plan` job, which selects the test suites. When a pull
  request changes only the documentation, only the `cpu` suite runs.
  A draft pull request skips the `predefined_heavy` suite. When the
  pull request becomes ready for review, all the suites run.
- Describe the suites and the `gpu` marker in CONTRIBUTING.md.

📝 Walkthrough

The CI workflow now detects documentation-only changes, selects CPU and GPU test suites based on change type and pull-request state, and runs coverage only for code changes. Pytest routing, integration-test markers, archive tests, and contributor guidance were updated to match the suite structure.

Changes: CI Test Routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Change detection and suite planning
scripts/only_docstrings_changed.py, .github/workflows/ci.yaml, tests/unittests/test_ci.py
The new script compares changed files while ignoring standalone Python string expressions and selected documentation settings. The workflow includes Markdown and .gitignore paths, then uses the script result and pull-request state to choose GPU suites. A unit test checks the path filters.
Suite assignment and test updates
tests/conftest.py, tests/integration/*, tests/files/custom_archive_config.json
The pytest hook routes tests to CPU, GPU, and named suites. GPU markers were added to integration tests. Archive verification is a separate CPU-marked combinations test, and its input configuration uses LETTERBOX resizing.
CI execution and contributor guidance
.github/workflows/ci.yaml, CONTRIBUTING.md
The workflow runs CPU tests before selected GPU suites and gates coverage on the plan and test jobs. Contributor guidance describes suite selection, runners, and draft pull-request behavior.

Since 2026-10-08, the RVC2 conversion job on HubAI fails and gives no
error. The test is now in the `cpu` suite, which stops at the first
failure, so this failure stops the suite and cancels the GPU suites.

Mark the `rvc2` case of `test_convert_with_hubai` as an expected
failure with `HubApiError`. Any other error still fails the test. The
marker is not strict, so the CI does not fail when HubAI works again.
Remove the marker then.
Two tests started to fail after 2026-10-07. The causes are outside this
repository.

- The RVC4 conversion on HubAI fails in the same way as the RVC2
  conversion. Mark both cases of `test_convert_with_hubai` as expected
  failures with `HubApiError`. The marker is not strict. Remove it when
  HubAI works again.
- LuxonisML added `resize_mode` to the NN Archive config. Add the
  value to the expected config of `test_custom_model`. The value is
  `LETTERBOX`, because `keep_aspect_ratio` is on by default.
When the `cpu` suite failed, fail-fast cancelled the GPU suites. They had
already run for some minutes, and GitHub bills these minutes. Now the GPU
suites wait for the `cpu` suite, so a failure that it finds costs no time
on the GPU runner. The run takes about 15 minutes longer, because this is
the time of the `cpu` suite.

The `tests` job runs the `cpu` suite, and the new `gpu-tests` job runs
the GPU suites. A YAML anchor gives the two jobs the same steps. The
`plan` job now selects the GPU suites only. The names of the checks do
not change.

Handle a path that contains a tab or special characters.

line.split("\t") raises ValueError when a path contains a tab. The script then exits with a traceback, and the plan step treats this as "code changed". The fallback is safe, so the impact is low. Use split("\t", 1) for a simple hardening.

Fix the suite count and the missing suite rows.

The text says "five suites". The table lists cpu, misc, predefined_light, predefined_heavy, and combinations. This is five, so the count is correct.

The PR also has an overfit_convergence suite with 9 tests. The table omits it, so the docs are incomplete. Add a row for overfit_convergence, or state that it is excluded. Then update the suite count.

A skipped matrix job shows its name without the expressions filled in.
When a change of the documentation only skips the GPU suites, the check
showed `tests (${{ matrix.suite }})`. Name the job `tests` instead.
GitHub adds the suite to the name of each matrix job, so the names of
the checks do not change.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep archive-only tests out of the GPU combinations suite.

tests/conftest.py assigns tests/integration/test_combinations.py to combinations before applying the unmarked CPU fallback. This new test does not train and only calls model.archive(), so it violates the CPU/GPU assignment contract and consumes GPU-suite time.

Isolate the expected HubAI failure from the archive assertions.

pytest.mark.xfail(raises=HubApiError) applies to the whole test. If model.convert() raises HubApiError, pytest marks the test as an expected failure before it reaches the base-archive and platform-archive assertions. The CI suite can therefore pass without checking either output.

Split the archive checks into a non-xfailed test. Keep the HubApiError expectation around only the remote HubAI operation. Moving the marker onto model.convert() alone is not sufficient because that call still exits before the assertions.

AI-generated review comment

The new plan job handles documentation-only PRs, but the pull_request.paths filter prevents some of them from starting CI. A PR that changes only Markdown (for example, CONTRIBUTING.md) or .gitignore matches no included path, so the cpu suite never runs, including on ready_for_review.

Could we add "**/*.md" and ".gitignore" to pull_request.paths and remove "!**/*.md"? Then these PRs reach plan, which already selects the CPU-only run. GitHub also leaves required checks pending when a workflow is skipped by path filtering.

Comment thread tests/integration/test_convert.py Resolved
Required checks stayed pending when path filters skipped documentation-only pull requests.
The archive test does not train and does not need the GPU runner.
HubAI conversion works again. The temporary xfail skipped conversion coverage.
