Summary

Points the lint job at canonical/starflow/.github/workflows/lint-python.yaml@work/separate-linkcheck to exercise the lint workflow that is being reworked in canonical/starflow#199.

That change splits the lint workflow into separate jobs and renames the lint make target to lint-code:

Job	Target	Runs when
filter	none	always; classifies changed files
files	make -k lint-code	source files changed
docs	make -k docs-lint	documentation changed
linkcheck	make -k docs-linkcheck	documentation changed

This repository had no lint-code target, so the aggregate lint target is split to match the repositories that already provide it. lint still runs everything for local use.

Scope

Workflow reference and Makefile only. No source changes.

The docs and linkcheck jobs are expected to be skipped on this pull request, because it touches no documentation. They are exercised by pull requests that change docs/, Markdown, or reStructuredText files.

Relationship to canonical/starflow#199

This pull request is an integration test for canonical/starflow#199. It should not be merged before that one lands, and the reference should be moved back to main afterwards.

Each repository that is testing this branch is listed in the table on canonical/starflow#199.

🟡 Changes recommended

Documentation changes would run link checking twice, and a link failure would still fail the docs job.

Status of this integration test for canonical/starflow#199 is recorded in a table in that pull request.

The files job here runs the new make -k lint-code. It fails on lint errors in files this pull request does not touch:

error[invalid-mutable-override]: Invalid override of attribute `summary`
error[invalid-mutable-override]: Invalid override of attribute `description`
error[invalid-mutable-override]: Invalid override of attribute `base`
make: *** [common.mk:123: lint-ruff] Error 1
make: *** [common.mk:180: lint-ty] Error 1

These come from the astral-ty beta snap and the ruff pydantic plugin. This repository's main branch has not run the code linters since 2026-09-28, so there is no recent run to compare against. The diagnostic class matches the failure that bincraft, charmcraft, and craft-store are hitting on their main branches today.
