+A pull request that changes only the documentation, Markdown files, GitHub metadata, or license files skips the
+compiler workflows (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows); the documentation and license checks still run. See
+[`tools/check_path_filters`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tools/check_path_filters) for the list of
+skipped files and what to do when a compiler job starts reading one of them.
+
+Most compiler jobs run only once a maintainer adds the label "🚀 ready to merge" to a pull request; until then, a
+smaller set of jobs runs on every push. See
+[How CI runs](https://json.nlohmann.me/community/quality_assurance/#how-ci-runs) for the sets and when they run.

+The documentation and license checks and the amalgamation check run on every push and pull request; AppVeyor (Visual
+Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019) has its own schedule. A pull request that changes only the documentation, Markdown files, GitHub metadata, or license files
+skips the compiler workflows (see [`tools/check_path_filters`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tools/check_path_filters)).
+
+A maintainer adds the label :rocket: ready to merge when a pull request is ready; the full set then runs, and again on
+every later push to that pull request. A pull request is merged only when the full set passed.

+The compiler workflows [`ubuntu.yml`](../../.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml),
+[`macos.yml`](../../.github/workflows/macos.yml), and [`windows.yml`](../../.github/workflows/windows.yml) skip pull
+requests that change only files no compiler job reads: the documentation, Markdown files, GitHub metadata, other
+workflows, and the license files. Pushes to `develop`, `master`, and `release/*` always run them. The documentation,
+license, and path-filter checks run in [`repository_checks.yml`](../../.github/workflows/repository_checks.yml), which
+has no path filter.
+
+The filter starts with `'**'` and excludes these files explicitly, so a new file runs the compiler workflows unless it
+is excluded on purpose. [`check_path_filters.py`](check_path_filters.py) holds the filter (`PATHS`) and checks that
+
+- each of the three workflows has exactly this filter, with its own workflow file included,
+- the CI targets that read excluded files (`UNFILTERED_TARGETS`) do not run in these workflows, and
+- no file the filter keeps (sources, tests, build files, tools, workflows) mentions an excluded file or directory
+  outside a comment line, unless the mention is listed in `KNOWN_REFERENCES` with a reason.
+
+When the check reports a mention, decide whether a compiler job reads that file:
+
+- If it does, include the file in `PATHS` after the exclusions (as `package_managers.md` and the Swift example are) and
+  copy the new filter into the three workflows.
+- If it does not, add the mention to `KNOWN_REFERENCES` with the reason.
+
+Run the check with
+
+```shell
+python3 tools/check_path_filters/check_path_filters.py
+```
+
+To see which workflows a pull request would run, pass the changed files:
+
+```shell
+python3 tools/check_path_filters/check_path_filters.py --changed $(git diff --name-only origin/develop)

+The jobs of the compiler workflows [`ubuntu.yml`](../../.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml),
+[`macos.yml`](../../.github/workflows/macos.yml), and [`windows.yml`](../../.github/workflows/windows.yml) are split into
+three sets, chosen by each job's
+`if:` condition (see [How CI runs](https://json.nlohmann.me/community/quality_assurance/#how-ci-runs)):
+
+- **PR set**: every push to a pull request, and every push to `develop`, `master`, and `release/*`;
+- **full set**: after the PR set passed, on pull requests with the label "🚀 ready to merge" and on every push;
+- **nightly set**: every night on `develop`, on every push to `master` and `release/*`, and when started by hand.
+
+A matrix whose entries belong to different sets is split into one job per set: the full-set job gets the suffix
+`_full`, the nightly-set job `_nightly`, and both share their steps with the PR-set job through YAML anchors.
+
+[`ci_jobs.py`](ci_jobs.py) checks that
+
+- every job has the `if:` condition of exactly one set (the conditions are in `SETS`),

+Use `--compare` when changing the workflows: a configuration that disappears fails it, so no compiler, version, or
