vmoroz's Description of Work

Description

Type of Change


  • Automation (CI/pipeline changes)

Why

Keep the CI and PR pipelines active with monthly runs instead of a weekly CI
heartbeat.

What



  • Monthly keep-alives: CI and PR validation run on the first of each month.
    Their push and PR branch filters stay unchanged.


  • Release flow: scheduled CI still starts the release pipeline, keeping that
    pipeline active too. The pipeline overview now describes the monthly runs.

Screenshots

Not applicable.

Testing

Both entry files pass Azure Pipelines preview; Beachball confirms no change file
is needed.

Changelog

Should this change be included in the release notes: no

Use monthly CI and PR pipeline keep-alives.
