When we submit a PR for a CI update or docs, we do not want to start CI checking
for ansible-lint, qemu, etc. When we are doing CI updates to 30 or more
roles, this fires off a lot of unnecessary tests, which sometimes causes the
linux-system-roles org in github to be throttled.

When submitting a PR that can skip ci, use "[citest_skip]" in the PR title.

Reviewer's Guide

Adds a conditional to multiple GitHub Actions workflows so CI jobs are skipped when the pull request title includes the marker "[citest_skip]".

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Gate most CI GitHub Actions jobs on a [citest_skip] marker in the PR title so they do not run for CI/docs-only updates.
  • Add an if condition to each affected workflow job that negates contains(github.event.pull_request.title, '[citest_skip]') so jobs run only when the marker is absent
  • Apply this gating to linting, spelling, markdown, shellcheck, ansible tests, QEMU/KVM integration tests, README conversion tests, and woke jobs

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • Accessing github.event.pull_request.title unconditionally can fail for workflows triggered by non-PR events; consider guarding the condition with github.event_name == 'pull_request' && !contains(github.event.pull_request.title, '[citest_skip]') (or using github.event.pull_request && ...) so the jobs still run safely on other triggers.
  • If you intend this behavior to apply uniformly across all workflows, it might be cleaner to move the [citest_skip] check to a single reusable condition (e.g., a reusable workflow or a common env/if expression) rather than duplicating the same if expression in each job.

## Overall Comments
- Accessing `github.event.pull_request.title` unconditionally can fail for workflows triggered by non-PR events; consider guarding the condition with `github.event_name == 'pull_request' && !contains(github.event.pull_request.title, '[citest_skip]')` (or using `github.event.pull_request && ...`) so the jobs still run safely on other triggers.
- If you intend this behavior to apply uniformly across all workflows, it might be cleaner to move the `[citest_skip]` check to a single reusable condition (e.g., a reusable workflow or a common `env`/`if` expression) rather than duplicating the same `if` expression in each job.
