-# GitHub Actions Documentation
-
-This lists and describes the repository GitHub actions, how to maintain and test them.
-
-## Release Management
-
-### add-milestone-to-pull-requests [🔗](add-milestone-to-pull-requests.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When a PR targeting `master` or a patch release (`release/vM.N.x`) branch is closed.
-
-_Action:_ Attach the corresponding milestone to the closed pull request (if not set).
-
-_Recovery:_ Attach the milestone by hand to the PR.
-
-### add-release-to-cloudfoundry [🔗](add-release-to-cloudfoundry.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When a release is published.
-
-_Action:_ Append the new release to the Cloud Foundry repository.
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually edit and push the `index.yml` file from [the cloudfoundry branch](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/tree/cloudfoundry).
-
-### check-pull-requests [🔗](check-pull-requests.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating or updating a pull request.
-
-_Action:_ Check the pull request complies with [the contribution guidelines](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually verify the guideline compliance.
-
-### check-pull-request-labels [🔗](check-pull-request-labels.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating or updating a pull request, or when new commits are pushed to it.
-
-_Actions:_
-
-* Detect AI-generated pull requests then apply the `tag: ai generated` label.
-* Check the pull request did not introduce unexpected labels.
-
-_Recovery:_ Update the pull request or add a comment to trigger the action again.
-
-### enforce-datadog-merge-queue [🔗](enforce-datadog-merge-queue.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating or updating a pull request, or when a pull request is added to GitHub merge queue.
-
-_Actions:_
-
-* Pass the `Merge queue check` status check on pull requests so they remain in a mergeable state,
-* When a pull request is enqueued in GitHub merge queue, post a `/merge` comment to trigger the Datadog merge queue,
-* Fail the `Merge queue check` status check on merge groups to prevent GitHub from merging directly.
-
-_Recovery:_ The workflow is expected to fail to block GitHub merge queue.
-This redirects GitHub's "Merge when ready" button to the Datadog merge queue system.
-
-### create-release-branch [🔗](create-release-branch.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When a git tag matching the pattern "vM.N.0" is pushed (e.g. for a minor release).
-
-_Action:_ Create a release branch that corresponds to the pushed tag (e.g. "release/vM.N.x"). Then open a PR against the release branch that pins system tests.
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually create the release branch from the "vM.N.0" git tag, and pin system tests to this branch by running the `./tooling/update_system_test_reference.sh` script.
-
-### draft-release-notes-on-tag [🔗](draft-release-notes-on-tag.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating a tag, or manually (providing a tag)
-
-_Actions:_
-
-* Fetch merged pull requests from the related tag milestone,
-* Generate changelog draft,
-* Create a new draft release for given tag with the generated changelog.
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually trigger the action again on the relevant tag.
-
-### increment-milestone-on-tag [🔗](increment-milestone-on-tag.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating a minor or major version tag.
-
-_Actions:_
-
-* Close the milestone related to the tag,
-* Create a new milestone by incrementing minor version.
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually [close the related milestone and create a new one](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/milestones).
-
-_Notes:_ This action will not apply to release candidate versions using `-RC` tags.
-
-### prune-old-pull-requests [🔗](prune-old-pull-requests.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ Every month or manually.
-
-_Action:_ Mark as stale and comment on pull requests with no update during the last quarter.
-Close them if no following update within a week.
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually trigger the action again.
-
-### update-download-releases [🔗](update-download-releases.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When a release is published.
-
-_Action:_ Update the _download releases_ with the latest release artifact.
-
-_Recovery:_ Download artifacts and upload them manually to the related _download release_.
-
-_Notes:_ _Download releases_ are special GitHub releases with fixed URL and tags, but rolling artifacts to provided stable download links (ex [latest](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/releases/tag/download-latest) and [latest-v1](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/releases/tag/download-latest-v1)).
-
-### update-issues-on-release [🔗](update-issues-on-release.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When a release is published. Releases of type `prereleased` should skip this.
-
-_Action:_
-
-* Find all issues related to the release by checking the related milestone,
-* Add a comment to let know the issue was addressed by the newly published release,
-* Close all those issues.
-
-_Recovery:_ Check at the milestone for the related issues and update them manually.
-
-### enforce-groovy-migration [🔗](enforce-groovy-migration.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ When creating or updating a pull request targeting `master`, or when labels are updated.
-
-_Actions:_
-
-* Fail the PR if it introduces any new `.groovy` file, including added, copied, or renamed files whose previous name was not already `.groovy`.
-
-_Recovery:_ Re-write the new Groovy files in Java / JUnit. To override this check entirely, add the `tag: override-groovy-enforcement` label to the PR. Remove the label to re-enable enforcement.
-
-_Notes:_ The override label skips the workflow entirely.
-
-## Code Quality and Security
-
-### analyze-changes [🔗](analyze-changes.yaml)
-
-_Trigger:_ Every day or manually.

-
-_Action:_ Creates a PR updating the git submodule at dd-java-agent/agent-jmxfetch/integrations-core
-
-_Recovery:_ Manually trigger the action again.
-
-## Maintenance
-
-GitHub actions should be part of the [repository allowed actions to run](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/settings/actions).
-While GitHub owned actions are allowed by default, the other ones must be declared.
-
-Run the following script to get the list of actions to declare according the state of your working copy:
-```bash
-find .github/workflows -name "*.yaml" -exec  awk '/uses:/{print $2 ","}' {} \; | grep -vE '^(actions|github)/' | sed 's/@.*/@*/' | sort | uniq
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-Workflows can be locally tested using the [`act` CLI](https://github.com/nektos/act/).
-Docker and [GiHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) need also to be installed.
-The [.github/workflows/tests/](./tests) folder contains test scripts and event payloads to locally trigger workflows.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Local workflow tests run against the repository and will potentially alter existing issues, milestones and releases.  
-> Pay extra attention to the workflow jobs you trigger to not create development disruption.

-
-          This PR updates the pinned latest eligible stable tool versions used by CI Visibility smoke tests.
-          Only releases at least ${{ env.MIN_DEPENDENCY_AGE_HOURS }} hours old are eligible.
-
-          - Gradle: ${{ steps.update.outputs.gradle_line }}
-          - Maven: ${{ steps.update.outputs.maven_line }}
-          - Maven Surefire: ${{ steps.update.outputs.surefire_line }}
-
-          # Motivation
-
-          Keep smoke tests running against the latest eligible stable versions of build tools without adopting releases in their first 48 hours.
-
-          # Contributor Checklist
-
-          - [ ] Verify smoke tests pass with the new versions
