CI Updates 2026

The CI process could benefit from updating. Some on-going work is moving this forward that should be tracked:

• Replace pytype and mypy (#8868) (remember to update the ruleset to allow the PR to pass and add the pyrefly check)
• Modernise building (#8980 #9010)
• Skip CI Tests Based on Checks, Not Action File (#8971, #9109)
• Add support for merge queues (#8991)
• Move black and isort formatting into pre-commit (#9061) Regular pre-commit may just be fine. using Pre-Commit Lite so that a action can be used which constructs the same environment the other actions run under, this ensures the versions of black and isort match what would be used locally.
• Fix weekly-preview #9075 #9081
• Fix CodeQL #9079
• Re-instate weekly GPU tests (#9112) (or PR tests?)
• Re-instate coverage testing
• Update actions for uploading to PyPI, docker updating, and anything else that hasn't worked for a while, this will likely need custom runners as Docker building is too large.
• Update or remove action scripts that have become outdated, especially cron ones.
• Update dependency versions once everything is settled, some are getting old and can be updated when Python 3.10 support is dropped.
• Create tests for using uv, pipx, conda/mamba, poetry, and other tools that should work with MONAI currently.
