Strategy: Heavy analysis runs on contributor's GitHub Actions allowance
Microsoft/GitHub subsidizes the compute through free tiers
Workflows:
- contributor-ci.yml: Full CI runs on fork (contributor pays)
- fork-ai-triage.yml: AI analysis, labeling, security scan (fork pays)
- fork-pr-analysis.yml: Upstream just verifies fork CI passed
Benefits:
- Unlimited scale via contributor free tiers
- AI/Copilot features use their allowance
- We only pay for lightweight verification
- Forks inherit these workflows automatically
