Selective and faster PR CI

Status	Work / tracking issue	Implementation PR	Next step
☐ 🚧 In progress	Run a weekly audit for test-selection drift (inline)	#20324	Address the latest review feedback, finish CI, then request review.
☐ 🚧 In progress	Complete the bounded selective-CI accuracy audit	—	Publish the final classification and transition ongoing monitoring to #20324.
☐ ⏳ To do	Land renamed-path parsing and selector diagnostics fixes	#19790 (draft)	Decide whether to refresh and resume or close the inactive draft.
☐ ⏳ To do	Add focused Copilot review guidance for trigger-map changes (inline)	#19942 (draft)	Decide whether to refresh and resume or close the inactive draft.
☐ ⏳ To do	Measure the before/after PR CI improvement (inline)	—	Reconstruct comparable pre-enforcement runs and compare representative post-enforcement runs after the audit workflow lands.

During rollout, favor safety over savings: use full CI whenever routing is uncertain, and record both missed required coverage and unnecessary selections.
