On 2026-07-30, 12 of the 23 queued runs of this workflow were commits like "add
1 new model to gallery" or a docs fix, each rebuilding all 18 container images.
That was roughly 216 queued jobs producing byte-identical output, in a queue
holding 1071 jobs with an oldest entry two days old.
Verified against the shipped Dockerfile before assuming it: the final stage
copies only entrypoint.sh, healthcheck.sh and the local-ai binary, there is no
go:embed of gallery/ or docs/, and the gallery is fetched at runtime from
github:mudler/LocalAI/gallery/index.yaml@master. A gallery-only commit produces
an identical image, and the gallery change reaches users through GitHub whether
or not an image is rebuilt, so nothing is delayed by skipping.
Add a `changes` job that decides once whether the push can affect an image; the
other 11 jobs take `needs: changes` and an `if:` on its output.
A job gate rather than paths-ignore on the trigger, for two reasons that both
fail silently if got wrong:
- paths-ignore on `push` also applies to tag pushes, and a tag created on an
existing commit carries an empty commits list. That would skip the release
image build with no failure anywhere. The gate short-circuits to build for
refs/tags/*, and for a base commit that is missing, zero or unresolvable --
the same run-everything posture the backend matrix filter takes for a
truncated diff.
- the merge jobs use `if: ${{ !cancelled() && ... }}`, and !cancelled() is
true when a dependency is skipped, so they need the gate named explicitly
or they would try to merge manifest lists for images never built.
Checked the decision logic against real commits from the queue: the two
gallery/docs commits resolve to build=false, the two code commits to build=true,
and all three fallback paths (tag, zero base, unresolvable base) to build=true.
