Code Review
This pull request has a major discrepancy between its stated goals and the actual changes. The title and description claim to improve CI workflow performance, but the diff only contains the addition of two documentation files (AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md). The CI changes described are completely missing from the pull request. This must be rectified by either updating the PR description to reflect the documentation changes or by including the missing CI workflow modifications.
Regarding the files that were changed:
AGENTS.mdadds valuable developer guidelines, though I've suggested renaming the file for better clarity.CLAUDE.mdappears to be an unintentionally generated file and should be removed.

- Fix PR matrix bug: remove hardcoded 'main lts' default so DEFAULT_TAGS logic applies correctly (PRs now run 3 jobs instead of 6) - Add concurrency controls with github.run_id fallback to cancel superseded PR runs without affecting scheduled runs - Add dependency caching for npm, Go modules, and Maven repository (placed after SDK checkouts where lock files exist) Closes #377 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Flynn <pflynn@virtru.com>

X-Test Failure Report |
The script was silently failing when pom.xml had no <properties> section
(e.g., Java SDK v0.7.5). The sed command to add <platform.branch> would
do nothing, but the replacement of branch=main with ${platform.branch}
would still run, causing Maven to pass the literal string to buf/git.
Now the branch replacement only runs if the property was successfully
added (or already existed).
Fixes #379

…a.sh Java SDK versions need compatible platform protocol branches: - v0.7.5 uses protocol/go/v0.2.18, not main - Added get_platform_branch() function mapping versions to protocols - Mappings match those in resolve-version.py This fixes compilation errors when building older Java SDK versions against incompatible protocol definitions.

Update post-checkout-java.sh to: - Check if the CORRECT platform.branch value is set, not just any value - Replace existing incorrect values with the version-specific protocol branch - Add explicit return statement to get_platform_branch function This fixes Java SDK v0.7.5 (lts) builds that were failing because the pom.xml already had <platform.branch>main</platform.branch> defined, but needed <platform.branch>protocol/go/v0.2.18</platform.branch> for compatibility.

…xists When the pom.xml has no <properties> section (like Java SDK v0.7.5), directly replace `branch=main` with `branch=protocol/go/v0.2.18` instead of trying to use Maven property substitution which doesn't work.

Don't overwrite platform.branch in pom.xml files that already have a valid protocol/go/v* value set. Only modify files that: - Are missing the platform.branch property - Have a specific mapping in the script (older versions) This fixes Java v0.9.0+ builds which already have the correct platform.branch defined in their pom.xml.

- Update bufbuild/buf-setup-action to v1.50.0 - Use github.token instead of secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN - Set buf version to 1.56.0 - Remove BUF_INPUT_HTTPS env vars (secret doesn't exist in tests repo) This should fix the buf rate limiting issue by using proper authentication.

The AGENTS.md appears more aspirational than functional at this point, but at least it gives us something to iterate on

Summary
Addresses performance issues in the X-Test workflow to improve PR feedback time through caching and concurrency controls.
'main lts'default fromPLATFORM_REFenv var soDEFAULT_TAGSlogic applies correctly (was being overridden)github.event.pull_request.number(avoids fork collisions), withgithub.run_idfallback for scheduled runsPR Test Matrix
PRs run 6 jobs (2 platforms × 3 SDKs) for full compatibility coverage:
Performance improvements come from caching (~2-3 min savings per job) and concurrency controls (cancels superseded runs).
CI Performance Comparison
Analyzed recent workflow runs using
gh run listandgh run view:This branch (with caching):
Main branch (baseline):
Key Finding
The perceived slowdown is NOT from caching changes - it's from the SDK version difference:
The newer v0.11.6 SDK takes significantly longer to test than v0.4.34. Caching changes have no negative impact on performance. When main branch tested the same workload (42 min run on Jan 21), performance was comparable to this branch, confirming baseline performance is similar.
Test plan
Closes #377
