Pre-Submission checklist

Please complete all items before asking a LiteLLM maintainer to review your PR

• I have added meaningful tests (N/A; this reverts a GitHub Actions trigger filter, which has no unit-test surface. Proof is the workflow config diff below)
• My PR passes all CI/CD checks (e.g., lint, format, unit tests)
• My PR's scope is as isolated as possible; it only solves 1 specific problem
• I have received a Greptile Confidence Score of at least 4/5 before requesting a maintainer review (Greptile reviews automatically once the PR is opened; only comment @greptileai to re-request a review after pushing changes)

Screenshots / Proof of Fix

This is a revert of a GitHub Actions trigger-filter change, so there is no proxy or LLM surface to exercise; the meaningful proof is the workflow trigger config before and after, plus confirmation that the paths-ignore block is gone from all 12 files

Before this revert, every test-unit-*.yml had a paths-ignore that suppressed the job on UI-only or markdown-only PRs, so a change touching only ui/litellm-dashboard/ (for example #32502) never ran "All Other Providers / Run tests", proxy-auth "Run tests", and the rest of the test-unit jobs

Trigger block after the revert (representative, test-unit-proxy-auth.yml):

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
      - litellm_internal_staging
      - litellm_oss_staging
      - "litellm_**"

Verification that the block is removed from all 12 workflows (captured at b76073e):

$ git grep -n "paths-ignore" .github/workflows/test-unit-*.yml
no matches (paths-ignore fully removed)

Once merged, a UI-only PR will again match the pull_request trigger on these workflows and run the unit test jobs

Changes

Reverts #32422, which added an identical four-line paths-ignore block (ui/**, **.md, **.mdx) to the pull_request trigger of all 12 test-unit-*.yml workflows. That filter meant UI-only and docs-only PRs skipped the backend unit test suites entirely, which we do not want since UI-only changes can still interact with proxy behavior and should be gated by these jobs. This removes the paths-ignore block from all 12 files and leaves the branches: list and everything else untouched, so the unit test workflows run again on UI-only changes

Greptile Summary

This PR reverts #32422, which had added identical paths-ignore blocks (ui/**, **.md, **.mdx) to all 12 test-unit-*.yml workflows. The revert ensures unit test suites run again on UI-only and docs-only pull requests.

• Removes the four-line paths-ignore block from each of the 12 test-unit-*.yml workflows, leaving branch filters and all other trigger configuration unchanged.
• No application code is touched; the only effect is that GitHub Actions will no longer skip backend unit tests when a PR only modifies dashboard UI or markdown files.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — the change is a mechanical removal of trigger filters from CI config with no impact on production code.

All 12 files receive exactly the same four-line deletion with no other modifications. The change is consistent, matches the stated intent (reverting #32422), and carries no risk of breaking builds or runtime behavior.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.github/workflows/test-unit-core-utils.yml	Removes paths-ignore block so the workflow runs on UI-only and docs-only PRs again.
.github/workflows/test-unit-documentation.yml	Removes paths-ignore block; identical change to the other 11 workflow files.
.github/workflows/test-unit-proxy-db.yml	Removes paths-ignore block; note this file only targets main and litellm_internal_staging branches, unlike the other 11 files which also include litellm_oss_staging and litellm_** — this branch-list difference is pre-existing and not introduced by this PR.
.github/workflows/test-unit-proxy-auth.yml	Removes paths-ignore block; identical change to the other 11 workflow files.
.github/workflows/test-unit-llm-providers.yml	Removes paths-ignore block; identical change to the other 11 workflow files.
.github/workflows/test-unit-proxy-endpoints.yml	Removes paths-ignore block; also has a workflow_dispatch trigger which is unaffected.

1. No successful run was found on litellm_internal_staging (b76073e) during the generation of this report, so 86a9871 was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩
