Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged changes optimizing CI workflows to run conditionally on affected files. Test, policy, experimental, and spread jobs now trigger only on relevant source or documentation changes, streamlining builds.

No scores available.
Issue body
Make workflows and jobs conditional:
- `QA / Test` runs if source files change.
- `Check policy` workflow runs if source files change.
- `Experimental workflows` workflow runs if source files change.
- `Tests` workflow is conditional on deeper MD files.
- `Spread` workflow is conditional on deeper MD files, renamed to `Spread tests for source`.
- `Spread tests for docs` triggers on additional doc files.
