Pull requests whose changes cannot reach any Tier A test (allowlist checked against declared Tier A inputs and an AST scan of cross-project reads) skip the unit coverage suite; master pushes always run it. Jest's transform cache is persisted with actions/cache: PRs restore only, master pushes start empty and save. Paired CI runs: Tier A 9m04s cold -> 6m09s warm. Nx Cloud is intentionally not used.
