Optimize CI pipeline avoiding running jobs for unrelated changes

[krysal]

Problem

When ones submit a change to the GH actions without altering actual Nuxt code the full CI workflow runs, that includes tasks like creating a preview for Storybook and Tailwind, checking types, and what takes longer, the Playwright tests (E2E, visual regression). For more, many of these works are flaky, it would be much better to prevent them from running early, save CPU time, and speed up the time a PR is ready for review and merge.

Description

I see two options to resolve this:

• split the current ci workflow into separate ones and use the path config to filter executions by folders being modified or
• use the dorny/paths-filter or another similar action to avoid running these time-consuming tasks.

Alternatives

The frontend image build took more time than the rest of the API/Ingestion Server checks in #898 so since this is as well an issue part of an ongoing project I'll put it in the to-do column.

Is this same as issue #849 fixed by PR #895?

That seems to be the case. I'll close this 👍
