Description

Optimizes the Copilot environment setup workflow by using mvn install instead of mvn verify and skipping Checkstyle analysis.

Changes

  • Updated .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml Maven command from verify to install with -Dcheckstyle.skip=true
  • Reduces setup time by avoiding static analysis checks while still installing all dependencies to local repository

Checklist:

  • Public methods are documented
  • Public methods are tested
  • New and existing tests pass when run locally
  • There are no new warnings or errors
Original prompt

Update the Copilot setup workflow to run 'mvnw install' instead of 'mvnw verify' and skip Checkstyle for the setup run. Background: The current workflow file .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml uses './mvnw -B clean verify -DskipTests --file pom.xml' to build the project during Copilot setup steps. For the environment setup we only need to install dependencies and avoid long-running static analysis checks. Change required: modify the Build with Maven step to use:

./mvnw -B clean install -DskipTests -Dcheckstyle.skip=true --file pom.xml

Make this a one-file change updating .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml. Ensure the workflow header, name, triggers, job name, permissions, and other steps remain unchanged. Commit message: "copilot-setup: use 'install' and skip Checkstyle during setup". No assignees or reviewers need to be set in the problem statement. The change is small and safe; this PR updates only the workflow file path: .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml.
