 ### GitHub Actions
 
-The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) runs on every pull request and on pushes to all branches. It defines a `build` job (Release + Debug) plus one job per conformance test mode; each job checks out the repository with submodules, builds the sample implementation, then builds and runs the CTS. The Streaming job is marked `continue-on-error: true` so it surfaces as a warning rather than failing the pipeline.
