About this tag
CI retention covers how long continuous integration systems keep the records teams rely on for audits, debugging, and compliance. The tagged content focuses on GitHub Actions, where the October 1 changelog confirmed that checks, workflow runs, and commit statuses now expire under the same retention setting as artifacts and logs.
