CI Triggers overview
CI Triggers as a cross-cutting topic - the event-based mechanisms that initiate pipeline execution. Covers push and pull-request hooks, schedule (cron) expressions, manual workflow_dispatch with typed inputs, repository_dispatch for API-driven invocation, workflow_call for pipeline composition, and external webhook payloads. Understanding trigger semantics is essential for controlling pipeline concurrency, cost, and security (e.g., preventing secret exposure on fork PRs).
