# 🔧 CI/CD Fix Summary

## 🎯 Issue Identified

**Problem:** Jobs were being skipped on Pull Requests even after tests passed.

**Root Cause:** The `package` job had a condition that **excluded pull requests**:

```yaml
# OLD (BROKEN)
if: (github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && github.event_name == 'push') || github.event_name == 'release'
```

This meant:

- ✅ Runs on push to `main` branch
- ✅ Runs on release events
- ❌ **SKIPS** on pull requests

---

## ✅ Fix Applied

**Updated** the `package` job condition to include pull requests:

```yaml
# NEW (FIXED)
if: |
  github.event_name == 'pull_request' ||
  (github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && github.event_name == 'push') ||
  github.event_name == 'release'
```

Now:

- ✅ Runs on pull requests (test packaging)
- ✅ Runs on push to `main` (create artifact)
- ✅ Runs on releases (for publishing)

---

## 📊 Before vs After

### Before (Skipped on PRs)

```
PR Event → dev/fix
├─ ✅ Build & Test (27s)
├─ ⏭️ Package Extension (skipped)
├─ ⏭️ Publish Extension (skipped)
└─ ⏭️ Upload Release Asset (skipped)
```

### After (Tests Packaging on PRs)

```
PR Event → dev/fix
├─ ✅ Build & Test (27s)
├─ ✅ Package Extension (15s) ← NOW RUNS!
├─ ⏭️ Publish Extension (skipped - correct)
└─ ⏭️ Upload Release Asset (skipped - correct)
```

**Note:** Publish and Release Asset jobs **should** skip on PRs - they only run on actual releases.

---

## 🎯 What This Fixes

### ✅ Benefits:

1. **Early Detection:** Packaging issues caught during PR review
2. **Test Artifact:** VSIX file available for testing before merge
3. **Confidence:** Know the extension packages correctly before merging
4. **No Surprises:** Avoid packaging failures after merge to main

### ⚠️ Note on Other Jobs:

**These jobs SHOULD skip on PRs (by design):**

- **🚀 Publish Extension** - Only runs on GitHub releases
- **📎 Upload Release Asset** - Only runs on GitHub releases

**Why?** Publishing should only happen when you intentionally create a release, not on every PR or merge.
