Description

Hi! We've found that a significant portion of the repository construction process is spent running the entire test suite and parsing the test logs.

We're wondering whether it would be possible to first identify a subset of test cases that are relevant to a given PR, and then only validate those test cases afterward.

Have you ever tried something similar? If so, we'd really appreciate it if you could share your experience or any insights.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how RepoLaunch currently runs the full test suite and parses its logs, then investigate how a PR-relevant subset could be identified. Done would require a defined approach and evidence that the selected tests adequately validate a PR.
