# Run the validators CI runs
## Purpose
Local builds are tuned for iteration speed, so projects disable the slow static
analysers and enable them only in CI. The failure mode is specific and expensive:
you run the project's own documented gate, it passes, you report "done" — and CI
fails on a warning your build never computed. The reviewer then sees a red PR they
already reviewed, which spends their attention on your build hygiene instead of your
change.
The second half matters as much as the first. When a linter does fire, the reviewer
usually quotes *one* instance. That instance is an example, not the requirement: the
**rule** is the requirement. Fixing only what was quoted leaves the same violation
elsewhere in your diff, and the next CI run finds it — costing a second round for
the same lesson.
## When to use
- Before saying "done", "green", "tests pass", or "ready for review".
- Immediately after a lint/static-analysis failure appears in CI.
- When CI is red and the local build is green — assume the validator gap first.
## When NOT to use
Not for the slow *test* suites — running every module's tests locally is often
impractical and CI exists for that. This is about **validators**: they are fast,
deterministic, and their absence locally is silent.
## The practice (checklist)
- [ ] Find the flags. Grep the build for validator toggles and read the CI workflow
for what it actually enables:
`grep -rn "validation\.\|skipIf\|onlyIf.*CI\|System.getenv(\"CI\"
